Five surprise performers for India in 2018

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has rose to become one of the best Test bowlers in the world

Many of the cricket experts stereotyped Jasprit Bumrah as a white-ball bowler till 2017. However, things have changed dramatically for Bumrah when he made his debut for India during their visit to South Africa early this year.

The right-arm fast bowler has had a phenomenal year as far as the five-day format is concerned. He has taken 47 wickets from just nine games which included three five-wicket hauls. His inclusion into the Test squad made India a potent fast bowling unit in the world.

Bumrah's devastating bowling in the ongoing Boxing Day Test match has been lauded by experts as one of the best bowling performances of 2018. His 6/33 has pushed Australia on the back foot at Melbourne. The fast bowler has proved that he is not just a limited-overs cricketer anymore.
