Jasprit Bumrah has been another find of the IPL. India's search for a death over specialist bowler finally got over when Bumrah showed his class in the T20 series against Australia in 2016 which India won 3-0. Bumrah was bought by Mumbai Indians in the 2013 edition of the league but did not get many chances then as MI had leading fast bowler Lasith Malinga in their team.

It was only in IPL 2016 that Bumrah showed his brilliance, clinching 15 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 7.80. Since then, he has cemented his place in the Indian cricket team. In the 2017 edition, his performance improved dramatically and he took 20 wickets in 16 matches at an economy of 7.35 to end up 3rd on the list of highest wicket-takers.

He has been nurtured well under the guidance of Sri Lankan great Lasith Malinga. Bumrah's recent performance in internationals makes him a preferred choice for retention.
