ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Top 5 bowlers in the tournament

#1 Hassan Ali (Pakistan)

Hassan Ali was the MVP

In each ICC event, stars are born who shine brightly for their countries and establish themselves as a force to reckon with. The 2017 Champions Trophy will be remembered for giving cricket a Pakistani bowler who can shoulder the bowling attack alongside the ferocious Mohammad Amir coming years. Hassan Ali was the MVP of this tournament as he took home a massive 13 wickets in five games - the joint highest in the history of the tournament.

Hassan was brought as a third/fourth change by Sarfraz Ahmed who used him shrewdly throughout the course of the event. His lateral movement broke the spine of South Africa and England as he turned out to be Pakistan's go-to guy.

The pacer took his wickets in the first over of his spells as Hassan proved to be the catalyst for this beautiful underdog story of Pakistan. Hassan Ali injected aggression into this sedate lineup of the Greens as his celebrations and his fielding depicted a rise of a new aggressive Pakistan cricket team.
