Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20 Bowler of the Year

#1 Jasprit Bumrah

The fast bowler has been quite outstanding at the death for India in T20s

Bumrah received the highest percentage of votes, that is 50 and is clearly the winner. The pacer first stole the limelight with his weird action in January 2016. But there was nothing weird about his line, length or pace. The 23-year-old is now quite a regular in the limited overs format as he is quite brilliant at the death with his fast Yorker and slower cutters.

Also Bumrah, because of his action is quite difficult to pick and is skiddy at times off the surface. Batsmen usually make the mistake of underestimating him and that’s what leads to their downfall. Since making his debut he has had a dream run in T20s where he has picked up 28 wickets from 21 matches with best figures of 3/11.

He averages 18.82 with the ball in T20s and has an economy rate of 6.62 which is quite good in the format.
