Top 5 bowling spells in the IPL

#4 Bhuvneshwar Kumar 5/19 vs KXIP (2017)

Bhuvneshwar breathed fire with the ball against KXIP

There are very few bowlers in the world more threatening and consistent in the limited overs format than Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Once regarded as the most promising young fast bowler in India, Bhuvi has now matured into India's premier pacer. Just 28 years of age, it's really hard to digest the fact that he has been playing the IPL for over 7 years.

Even more surprising is the fact that he is the highest wicket taker among Indian fast bowlers. However, it wasn't until the 2016 season that Bhuvneshwar became famous for his IPL exploits, and his 2017 campaign can easily be regarded as the best season by a fast bowler. His match-winning performance against KXIP is a testament to his prowess as one of the best in the IPL.

Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a respectable total of 159/6 after impressive batting by David Warner. Defending 160, Bhuvneshwar started with a bang as he dismissed the experienced Amla off the very first ball of the innings and Glenn Maxwell in the third over to reduce KXIP to 16/2.

However, Manan Vohra, playing the innings of his life, nearly took the match away from SRH single-handedly. Scoring 95 from 50 balls, he took KXIP to 144 before he was clean bowled by Bhuvi in his second spell. Completing his five-for with the wickets of Mohit Sharma and KC Cariappa, Bhuvi took SRH to a 5-run win and finished with sensational figures of 5/19 in his 4 overs.
