ICC Champions Trophy semi-final: Top five players to watch out for when India face Sri Lanka

4. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The swing bowler from Meerut has lived up to the expectations that were evoked by his promising start in international cricket. He has taken 5 wickets in 3 matches for India; but more significantly, all of them came at the head of the innings. He troubles the batsmen with his late lateral movement even though he does not strive for high speeds. The fact that he can swing the ball both ways makes him equally effective against right-handed and left-handed batsmen. He exhibits great control over his line and length, forcing the batsmen to play the ball more often than not. MS Dhoni utilizes his abilities extremely well as he allows him longer spells when the ball is swinging, and that might be the case against Sri Lanka if he picks up an early wicket.
