Jasprit Bumrah - 10/10

Ever since he made his ODI debut, Bumrah has raised the bar for Indian fast bowlers. In this series, he raised the bar that bit higher as he finished with the record for most wickets by a fast bowler in a five-match bilateral ODI series.

With 15 wickets in the series, including his career-best ODI figures, the 23-year-old finished as the leading wicket-taker in the series and is quickly establishing himself as one of the finest limited-overs bowlers going around.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar - 7/10

Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn't get a wicket in the first three matches of the series, he finished with his career-best ODI figures in the final ODI and also helped India win the second ODI courtesy of his career-best score and an unbeaten century partnership with MS Dhoni.

With five wickets in four matches, the 27-year-old ended up amongst the wickets and also scored some crucial runs with the bat. While he was wicketless in the first three ODIs, he bowled brilliantly, kept the runs down, executed his yorkers and was unlucky not to pick up any.

Shardul Thakur - 3/10

After an impressive debut in the fourth ODI, where he picked up his maiden ODI wicket, Thakur had a forgettable outing in the final match. However, he showcased good pace early in his career and the 25-year-old still has time on his side.
