The medium-pace swing bowler, who hails from Meerut, has been the backbone of Sunrisers Hyderabad for quite a long time now. Initially, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's strength was to swing the ball both ways, but the rising demands of modern-day cricket led to his transformation as one of the finest death-over bowlers in the world.

In the last season, the 28-year-old was a bit off-color, as he picked only 9 wickets from 12 matches, albeit he won the purple twice in consecutive seasons. Moreover, as far as his economical nature is concerned, Bhuvi has never gone for more than 8/over after the end of any season.


#1 Jasprit Bumrah - Mumbai Indians

The extravagant league is about catching the sight of Indian talent and nurturing them, and all credit goes to Mumbai Indians for Jasprit Bumrah’s exponential growth, which has made him the most dependable death over specialist in the Indian cricket team.

Despite a power-packed bowling setup consisting of Lasith Malinga, Jason Behrendorff, Mitchell McClenaghan, and Adam Milne, the skipper Rohit Sharma will continue to rely on Bumrah when the opposition is looking to shift gears.
