The Best Indian IPL 2018 XI of the league stage

#10 Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah has been the bedrock of MI this season.

Joining Bhuvi to lead the pace attack in the death overs is Jasprit Bumrah. Having lived in the shadow of Lasith Malinga during his formative years, Bumrah, with his slow deliveries to crushing reverse-swinging yorkers at the death, has grown to become an indispensable part of the national team.

Bumrah has been the bedrock of the Mumbai Indians bowling set-up and has already scalped 17 wickets at an average of 21.43, including a magical spell of 3-15 against the KXIP to lead his team to a thrilling victory.

#11 Umesh Yadav

Umesh has been brilliant in the Powerplay overs.

Umesh's strength lies in hurrying the batsmen with incisive pace and bounce, and he would come in handy during the Powerplay overs. With most of his dismissals as bowled and LBW, Umesh, more often than not hit the right straps in the 2018 IPL, and accumulated 20 wickets, at an average of 20.90.

In a bowling attack looking for consistency, Umesh Yadav was Royal Challengers Bangalore's most potent bowler, especially in the powerplay overs.

Umesh's performance has not gone unnoticed as he earned his call-up to the Indian T20 squad for the England and Ireland tour, after a hiatus of six-year.
