IPL 2018: 5 Bowlers who can win the Purple Cap

#3 Jasprit Bumrah

This could be the year for Boom Boom Bumrah

For a long time, Indian Cricket Team had struggled to find a bowler who could be effective in the death overs, that long search of a death over specialist bowler finally ended when Bumrah burst on to the scene with his ability to bowl toe cracking yorkers.

If the IPL is all about spotting Indian talent and giving them the platform, then Jasprit Bumrah is a perfect example of that. John Wright scouted Bumrah while he was playing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and took him to the Mumbai Indians camp and the rest is history. Still just 24, Bumrah is one of India's leading fast bowlers and has shown maturity beyond his age. The yorker is his most dangerous delivery but it's his unorthodox action that makes him special. He is improving every season with the Mumbai Indians under the guidance of Lasith Malinga and his best is yet to come.

Bumrah is in sublime form having recently performed well on the South Africa tour while also becoming the NO. 1 ranked bowler in ICC ODI rankings and he looks a solid candidate to win the Purple Cap in the IPL 2018 edition.
