From times immemorial, Lasith Malinga has been the automatic choice to bowl the Super Over for whichever team he is representing. However, times have changed now and the pupil has taken over from the master.

Jasprit Bumrah could do no wrong in the death overs. He could deliver his yorkers at will and could hit timber more often than not. With his awkward action and express pace, Bumrah is a threat to the wicket and the limbs of the batsmen. He has been in such tight situations innumerable times and every time he has come good.

Bumrah would be the first choice to bowl the Super Over for any team in the World, leave alone for Mumbai Indians.

#8. Rashid Khan (SRH)

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have bowlers like Billy Stanlake and Shakib Al Hasan to bowl the Super Over. However, the real race would be between India’s medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Afghanistan's Rashid Khan. In fact, no other IPL team has two equally good options to bowl the Super Over. SRH has the luxury of two superb bowlers who could bowl the Super Over.

For Sunrisers, both Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan are excellent choices. Rashid Khan being a spinner is expected to be a more controlled bowler who is not expected to bowl the wides. On the other hand, Bhuvi has the ability to pin down batsmen with his immaculate yorkers.
