#1 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has become the most valuable find of Indian cricket in recent times. Having started his career as a T20 specialist, Bumrah has now become the best bowler of India in the red ball cricket also. Whenever the skipper needs wicket, he turns to Bumrah to deliver the goods.
The 25-year-old picked up 6 wickets in the first inning and as a result, Australia were all out for just 151 runs, giving India a huge lead of 292 runs. The problem for India in the ongoing series has been getting the tail out early, but Bumrah cleaned up the tail pretty quickly in Australia's first innings.
Bumrah's slower ball yorker to dismiss Shaun Marsh in the last ball before lunch was a moment to savour. In the second innings also, Bumrah chipped in with some crucial wickets. He dismissed Finch, Marsh and Cummins in the second innings.
The legendary pacer Glenn McGrath is mighty imppressed by Bumrah:
"I have never seen anybody quite like Bumrah. He has a short run-up but powers through to the crease. And he has such an unusual, quick, whippy action. It’s hard for the batsmen to pick him."
Jasprit Bumrah was rightfully given the man of the match award for his brilliant match figures of 9 for 86.
