Kumar is arguably the best Indian pacer at the moment.

No one would have bet a single penny if someone had claimed that Bhuvneshwar Kumar would become a death-over specialist.

His calibre with the new ball barely needs any introduction. What has improved the player, is his work-rate and death bowling which have given him yet another weapon in his arsenal.

The player currently holds the Purple Cap from the 10th edition of the IPL as he led the charts with 26 wickets with an economy of 7.05 (RPO). SRH have retained the player for the season.

Kumar was pinpoint with his wide yorkers and slower ones. He created severe dilemmas in the mind of the striker. Eventually, he turned himself into a lethal all-round bowler who can pick up wickets with both the new and old ball.

He would be fancying his chances to hold on the Purple Cap for yet another season. It is certainly going to be a thrill watching him bowl.
