The right-arm fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is currently India's best pacer in all formats of the game. Bumrah, who could deliver at a very high speed, has the ability to trouble any batsman with his bouncers and toe-crushing yorkers.

He did not get the desired start as he picked just 8 wickets in six games against South Africa in early 2018. However, the Mumbai Indians pacer regained his form and helped his team to clinch the Asia Cup which was held in UAE.

In total, he played 13 games and scalped 22 wickets at a sparkling average of 16.64 and a stunning economy of 3.63 with the best bowling figure of 4 for 35. He could have picked few more wickets in the format had he played the three-match ODI series against England.

Jasprit Bumrah in 2018:

Matches - 13, Wickets - 22, Average - 16.64, Economy-rate - 3.63, Best Figures - 4/35, 4-Wicket Hauls -1, Strike-rate - 27.50
