#1 Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (4-0-24-5 vs South Africa)

Another making the list, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's abilities as a frontline pacer who can swing the ball both ways are widely appreciated in the cricketing fraternity.
In the 1st T20 match against South Africa in Johannesburg earlier in February, Bhuvi proved to the world why he's such a special talent with the ball as he single-handedly anchored India to a 28-run victory.
Chasing a massive target of 204, South African openers started off aggressively but Bhuvi had other plans as he first, got the better of JJ Smuts and soon JP Duminy followed.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad man used a number of variations like the knuckleballs and slower deliveries to decimate the opposition. In the 18th over, he dismissed set batsman Reeza Hendricks who was batting on 70.
Known as one of the best death bowlers, the man from Meerut quickly cleaned up the tail with the wickets of Klaasen and Chris Morris to seal an impressive Indian victory.
