Brisbane: T20 cricket is not usually an art form associated with subtlety and understatement. The nature of the beast lends itself to cricketers and situations that scream "look at me" in a very Gen Y sort of way. Yet, there were so many hidden gems from Bangladesh that may have gone unnoticed.

Let's start with India – the new Kings of Cool. Watch the way Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni go about their business; they just ooze calm. Like the West Indies of yesteryear, these guys are now the coolest cats in town, marrying a killer intensity with veins of ice. To carry off this image, you need to win in style and look like it was always under control – the end of the run chase against South Africa was a master class in 'smooth'. Kohli's burning eyes and wrists of steel contrast perfectly with Dhoni's calm smile that lurks beneath the surface, no matter how tense the situation is.
