ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Top 5 bowlers in the tournament

Pakistan, against all odds, clinched the coveted trophy yesterday

#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (India)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar carried his good form from the IPL

India's spearhead, Bhuvneshwar Kumar came into the Champions Trophy in sublime form. He had a memorable IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad and he carried that form into the mega event in England. Though his best weapon (swing) was not available to him in these conditions, Bhuvi made up for that with his immaculate line and length.

He did not go wicketless in any of the five games that India played and finished the tournament having bagged seven wickets. At times, the 27-year-old was deadly at the start but his most crucial interventions came in the death overs where his calm head combined with his deadly yorkers made life difficult for the opposition.

In the final against Pakistan, Kumar was the only bowler who looked unfazed by the onslaught on display as he kept it nice and simple.
