India’s biggest find of 2016 and their best limited-overs bowler in the year, Bumrah finished as India’s highest wicket-taker with 17 scalps in 10 matches and resolved one of MS Dhoni's biggest problems, which was the lack of a quality death bowler.
Bumrah usually came on to bowl first change and with the semi new-ball kept the runs down, but his real role came at the back end of the innings when he consistent yorkers at a very good pace to restrict the runs.
If there is one area where Bumrah may have to work a bit is his notorious ability to step over the line and if he can cut that down, then it would surely help his team further.
