IPL 2018: The core players of Mumbai Indians

#2 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is MI’s most bankable bowler. He takes wicket at the start and blocks the flow of runs at the end, a combination every captain looks for in a strike bowler. He has evolved as a bowler under the guidance of Lasith Malinga. However, now he is on his own. There is no Malinga or Johnson to bowl from the other end.

Bumrah is a thinking cricketer and this shows in his variations. He has developed the out swinger and the slower ball, and is not just the yorker bowler anymore. With an average of 30.48 and an economy rate of 8.1 in the IPL, Jasprit Bumrah’s has been a great asset for MI over the years.
