Bhuvneshwar Kumar has become India's pace spearhead

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has added an extra yard of pace to his arsenal and that, coupled with the swing he generates in most conditions, has been the downfall of many batsmen recently. He also has a lethal yorker which he utilises to great effect at the death.

Jasprit Bumrah, like Bhuvneshwar, has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year, ousting the likes of Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami from the Indian setup. Bumrah's slingy action and deadly yorker have made him one of the best bowlers going around at the moment. Bumrah was spectacular in the second ODI, ending with figures of 2/38 and will be looking to continue that form in the final game.
