Bhuvneshwar Kumar

For long, India had searched for the mythical being that would elevate them to one of the best ODI bowling sides in the world. Could there ever be a fast bowler, who swings the new ball, has plenty of variations and has deadly yorkers to use at the death? Or is that just another urban myth? The new and improved Bhuvneshwar Kumar has proven that is no longer just a myth.

Jasprit Bumrah

If fast bowlers were graded purely on their bowling actions, Jasprit Bumrah would not feature anywhere near the top of that list. With an action that a lumberjack would use to scythe trees down with horror movie-esque violence, Bumrah proves that when the axe is replaced by a ball, it is just as effective. Just ask the Proteas batsmen and they'd tell you all about it.
