Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20I team of the year

#11 Jasprit Bumrah – India

Jasprit Bumrah can bowl a yorker at will

India found a new hero in the limited-overs formats of the game in the form of Jasprit Bumrah. The Baroda lad, with an unusual, jerky action bowls with deadly accuracy, and, most importantly, has the most important ball for this format in his arsenal, a deadly yorker.

2016 was a breakthrough year for him and he lies alone at the top of the wicket-takers list with 28 scalps. He played the most number of games in T20s this year, but his consistency never dipped. He is deadly towards the fag-end of the innings where bowlers generally go for plenty.

His best performance came against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club, when he took 3/11.
