#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Matches - 40, Wickets - 39, Best Figures - 5/24, Economy Rate - 6.85
When Bhuvneshwar Kumar made his international debut for India, the fans billed him as Praveen Kumar 2.0. He had an excellent command over the swing and seam of the ball. In his debut match against Pakistan, Bhuvneshwar returned figures of 3/9 in his four overs.
His performance in the subsequent matches wasn't up to the mark and the pacer was then dropped from the team. He later bounced back, putting his newfound ability to bowl quick yorkers in the death overs to good use, and was India's premier pacer once again.
One of the most economical bowlers around, there are just five T20Is out of the 40 he's played in where he has conceded more than 40 runs.
The Uttar Pradesh-born bowler also has a five-wicket haul to his name (against South Africa in Johannesburg) besides being the team’s vital cog in the 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups.
