Chahal wasn't quite at his bamboozling best for RCB this year

In a season where their bowlers were put to the cleaners by the opposition's batsmen, Yuzvendra Chahal stood as the lone ranger for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The leg-spinner was economical and controlled the run flow in the middle stages of the game.

In spite of not being anywhere near to his best, Chahal accounted for 12 scalps in 14 games at a decent economy rate of 7.26. Given the English batsmen's vulnerability to leg-spin, Chahal might just prove to be Kohli's trump card in India's upcoming T20 series against England.

Jasprit Bumrah - 8/10

Jasprit Bumrah had a decent season for Mumbai Indians this year

Fast emerging as one of the best death bowlers in the world, Jasprit Bumrah is certainly one of the key components of the Indian squad that has been picked to play England, and if the recent form in IPL is anything to go by, the fans can be assured of another impressive performance from the speedster.

While picking up 14 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 6.88 is a praiseworthy aspect, it was Bumrah's accurate yorkers in the death overs that helped Mumbai Indians win games on multiple occasions.

However, a few argue that the man seems to have lost a bit of his steam at the death as compared to his previous self and Bumrah would be itching to set the criticism right when he takes on England.
