#1 Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Jasprit Bumrah announced his arrival in international cricket when the Indian team were desperately searching for a good fast bowler. A student of Lasith Malinga, Bumrah has the ability to bowl perfect yorkers during the death overs.
The right arm pacer made his international debut in ODIs in 2016. Since then, he has never looked back, and has been the best bowler for India across all formats of the game.
The 25-year-old has scalped 78 wickets from 44 matches at an impressive average of 21.01 and an economy of less than 5.
The year 2018 was a breakthrough year for him in international cricket. He became the first Indian bowler to bag a Test five-wicket-haul in South Africa, England and Australia in the same calendar year.
With the kind of form he has been in, he may well end up as the highest wicket taker during the upcoming cricket festival.
