Australia v India - Game 1
Bumrah is an indispensable part of India's limited-overs sides

Jasprit Bumrah has made rapid strides in India's limited-overs teams and is now virtually among the first names on the team sheet. On Saturday, he raced past Ashish Nehra to become the second highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is behind Ravichandran Ashwin.

With 36 wickets in 26 matches at an average of 17.83 and an economy of 6.69, there are few bowlers better than Bumrah in T20I cricket. He once again proved why he is one of the best death bowlers around. In the penultimate over, Bumrah conceded just two runs and picked up two wickets to seal Australia's fate.
