Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the purple cap holder in last year's IPL with 26 wickets with an average of 14.19. He has been terrific for Sunrisers Hyderabad in last 3 years. Now, he has become a matured bowler. His performances for India reflect that. His death bowling has improved massively. His ability to swing the ball in both directions makes him a lethal bowler.

Improvement in bowling speed has also helped. Now, he regularly bowls around 135 kmph. He will look to retain his purple cap in this year's IPL. If Bhuvi has a good game on Monday, then it will be easy for Sunrisers to start their season with a win.
