The only seam bowler on the list, Kumar is a cool customer with great swing bowling ability. The bowler is not the fastest bowler or the most dominating bowler, but he sure is one of the most technical seamers in world cricket.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad has hugely benefitted from the wickets picked up by the player as he has won the tournament with the franchise. India's leading seamer and the only guarantee in the national team at the moment with Virat Kohli, Kumar is a senior player in most sides, given his pedigree and experience.
