Top 5 death bowlers in the Indian Premier League

#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The 28-year-old bowler from Uttar Pradesh, who started off his career as a specialist new ball bowler, didn't have the best of times in his first few seasons, playing for the RCB and the now defunct franchise, Pune Warriors India.

After being picked by the Sunrisers Hyderabad, things changed. Winning two purple caps on the trot in 2016 and 2017, he is booming in confidence.

He can bowl a perfect yorker, and with the pace that he has got, he can push the batsman onto the back foot with ease. He can also make the batsmen smell the leather, which makes the yorker more effective.

He performs exceptionally well as a death bowler on a regular basis playing for India as well, alongside Jasprit Bumrah. Having been retained by SRH this year, he'll surely come in handy with the ball.
