#11 Jasprit Bumrah

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler in the world in limited overs cricket. The ace speedster ended the season with 19 wickets in 16 matches. He saved his best for the last as he ended the final with figures of 2-14 against CSK and was adjudged the Man of the Match.

Bumrah's uncanny ability to nail yorkers at will and destroy any batting line up on his day makes him a force to reckon with. He will undoubtedly be India's trump card in the World Cup.

Marks: 9/10


#12 KL Rahul

KL Rahul was phenomenal for Kings XI Punjab and ended the season as the second highest run scorer with 593 runs in 14 matches, only behind Sunrisers Hyderabad's David Warner. The flamboyant Karnataka batsman was Punjab's lone warrior and produced several match winning performances for his side.

Rahul will be heading into the World Cup as India's backup opener but could get the nod ahead of Vijay Shankar at No. 4 considering the latter's miserable form throughout the tournament.

Marks: 9.5/10
