5 modern bowlers with the most lethal yorkers

#2 Jasprit Bumrah - India

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah arrived on the scene at a time when India's fast bowling cupboard had almost become bare. He impressed everyone with his display against Australia in his debut series away from home.

Bumrah has an X-factor about him as he has an unusual action and the ability to move the ball both ways. He has added a well disguised slower one to his repertoire and keeps the batsmen guessing with his pyrotechnics.

Bumrah probably bowls the highest number of yorkers among the current set of fast bowlers. This has earned him the nickname "The Yorker Machine". He practises this skill by placing a pair of shoes at the popping crease, and he keeps hitting the yorker length day-in day-out.

Bumrah bowls around the 145 kph mark and has been India's most consistent death bowler in the shorter formats. He once defended 7 runs in a T20 match against England in Nagpur, where he got the better of Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali.

In the lat 24 months, Bumrah has bowled 305 balls, picking up 24 wickets at an economy of 6.12. He has forged a strong death bowling partnership with Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
