IPL 2018: 5 pacers who would be their captain's delight in the slog overs

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

The control with which Bumrah bowls sets him apart from the rest

It is the quick learning ability of Jasprit Bumrah that has led him to great heights in such a short span of time. It was only in 2013 that Bumrah made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians and soon became Rohit Sharma’s go-to bowler. History repeated itself a few years later when the 24-year-old became Virat Kohli’s go-to man, soon after making his international debut.

There have been a lot of bowlers with awkward actions but most have not even come close to the success that Bumrah enjoys. The prime reason for his success, more than his unorthodox action, is the control with which he bowls. His yorkers and slower ones are mostly on point and it is his ability to read the mind of the batsmen which makes him the most effective bowler in the slog overs.
