#3 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has been the most consistent bowler in international cricket of late. He has been India's best bowler in recent times ever since he made his ODI debut in 2016. In 41 ODIs he has picked 72 wickets at an impressive average of 21.77. With the new bowl, he picks early wickets and doesn't allow the opposition to get a good start. Also, he is a death over specialist and rarely goes for runs.

He has an economy of just 4.54 which is great for a fast bowler who particularly bowls in the powerplay and in the death overs. Bumrah is also the third fastest Indian to pick 50 wickets after Ajit Agarkar and Kuldeep Yadav. Bumrah is currently ranked number one in the ODI bowlers list. He will be the leader of the future Indian bowling attack.

His partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also been brilliant with the bowl for India but he hasn't looked at his very best after his comeback from the injury. Hopefully, he can get back to his best before the world cup gets going.
