Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Kumar has been India's best bowler

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been India's best bowler in all formats of the game for more than a year. He is among the most improved pace bowlers in the world right now.

Kumar had a brilliant test series against South Africa and was adjudged the Man of the Match in the 3rd Test which India won. He didn't have a great ODI series and would look to make amends in the T20s

Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah is India's death overs specialist

Jasprit Bumrah is India's best bowler in the shorter formats of the game and has been India's death overs specialist.

Bumrah has picked up 8 wickets in 6 ODIs in the South African series and has provided the team with breakthroughs on important occasions.
