#3 Jasprit Bumrah
The IPL community was amazed when it saw Jasprit Bumrah bowl for the first time. The Ahmedabad boy had a highly unusual bowling action and he had a new delivery for the batsman every time.
Apart from all the amazing things that he did, it was his yorker that was the talk of the town. The accuracy of his yorkers was incredible as he and Malinga formed a deadly combination. As Bumrah would later tell, Malinga had a big role in the evolution of him as a bowler.
He made his debut for India in January against Australia in their backyard and impressed everyone with his ability to contain the batsmen at the death. Since then, his stocks have been on the rise. He has been an integral part of the Indian team and the Mumbai Indians.
The Australian pitches have more in it for the bowlers and those tracks also suit Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling style. In the 81 T20 matches that he that he has played, Bumrah has scalped 87 wickets at an economy of 7.48. His best figures in this format are 3/7.
