IPL 2020: Predicting 5 bowlers who could win the Purple Cap

#4 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has not been in the greatest of form since his comeback from a stress fracture, but he is a world-class bowler and is always going to be one of the contenders for the Purple Cap, given the fact that he is a wicket-taker at any stage of the innings.

Bumrah bowls at the death for Mumbai Indians in all the games and the reason why he is a nightmare for any batsman at the death is the length that he bowls. Bumrah is quick through the air which obviously helps, but the consistency with which he finds the block-hole is incredible.

While he is looking to bowl yorkers, Bumrah doesn’t always get predictable, as he has got change-ups in his armory as well. He has got a fantastic off-cutter and he can also bowl hard lengths on pitches which offer a bit of pace and bounce.

While Bumrah is quite lethal in the latter stages of the innings, the Mumbai Indians star's ability to extract the seam movement makes him quite a useful prospect with the new ball as well.
