#9 Jasprit Bumrah

The best death bowler that India has had in a long time

India's decade-long search for a genuine limited overs fast-bowler who can hit the deck hard, and be a nightmare to the opposition batsman ended when Jasprit Bumrah entered the Indian squad. The Lad from Ahmedabad is easily the best bowler in the Indian set up and it took only a year for Bumrah to achieve this place.

Bumrah, with his weird action, can swing the new ball early on, hit the deck when in flat track, and can bowl some toe-crushing yorkers in the death overs which he learned from his Mumbai Indians teammate Lasith Malinga.

Bumrah had a meteoric rise, from taking the wicket of Virat Kohli in his first ever IPL match, to wearing his first Test cap in the South Africa where he proved he belonged in the Test scheme of things as well.

India is not known for producing express fast bowlers who instill fear in the minds of the batsman, but the arrival of Bumrah can be the start of this new era.
