IPL 2018: Key player battles

#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar v Jasprit Bumrah

Bhuvi or Bumrah?

The two spearheads of the Indian bowling department. The double Bs have amazed plenty of oppositions with their bowling in the last one year. They have bowled wonderfully upfront and at the back end of the innings as well. Both of them have learnt a lot from each other in the past few years.

Jasprit Bumrah has featured in 47 games for the Mumbai Indians. He has picked up 46 wickets so far. He picked up 20 wickets in the previous edition of the league.

On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar has picked up 111 wickets in only 90 games. Kumar's economy rate is also lesser than Bumrah.

Both the seamers possess wonderful accuracy. Bumrah usually bowls at the back end of the innings. His main focus is to stop the flow of runs with his yorkers.

Bhuvneshwar's knuckleball surprises the batsmen on most occasions. Bhuvneshwar Kumar laid his hands on the purple cap in the previous two editions whereas Bumrah has never been close to the milestone.
