1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar - Lord's, 2014
Batting - 36 & 52
Bowling - 6/82 & 0/21
Despite having played 12 Tests for India so far in his career, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not really managed to find a permanent place for himself in the team. Known for his excellent swing bowling and abilities with the bat, Kumar has often used his skills to good effect in the longest format of the game.
During the Indian team's historic triumph at Lord's in 2014, Bhuvneshwar made an important all-round contribution. When Ajinkya Rahane was struggling to find partners in India's first innings, the Uttar Pradesh cricketer stuck around for a vital 90-run partnership. Later, he grabbed a 6-wicket haul to help India dismiss England for 319.
This was followed by a half-century in the Indian 2nd innings and although it was Ishant Sharma who bowled the team to victory, Bhuvneshwar Kumar kept the pressure on the batsman by conceding just 21 runs in his 16 overs.
