#8 Sunrisers Hyderabad - Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Out of all the players on this list, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the best because he does this for every team he plays in. Bhuvi has been India's opening bowler for a long time in almost every game he plays in and to do that, he has to ooze quality and he does. Though he had a sub-par IPL last season, Bhuvneshwar has an IPL record which his hard to overlook. With a career economy of just 7.15 and 120 wickets, Bhuvi has had great outings in the IPL.
He's more of a swing bowler and doesn't hit a great speed but bowls fast enough to trouble the batsman with the movement he generates. His run-up and seam position before release are perfect and he creates many opportunities for early breakthroughs whenever he's given the ball. He has also expanded his arsenal to bowling in the death and has excelled there as well. One of the most complete bowlers in the league, Bhuvi is the best opening bowler for the SRH side.
