Top 5 bowlers of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013

3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar: 6 Wickets @ 3.68

The swing bowler has been India’s most potent weapon and is on this list ahead of Ishant Sharma inspite of taking two wickets less. It is due to his efforts upfront that India has been able to shackle the opposition. His ability to swing the new ball both ways would not be such a weapon if he was not a street smart cricketer, especially when he does not boast of a lot of pace. MS Dhoni realizes the limitations of his ability and tries to allow him to bowl as many overs as possible upfront. He has the responsibility of getting India the early breakthrough, as he did against the West Indies by dismissing Chris Gayle.
