Top 5 wicket-takers in Tests in 2018

#4 Jasprit Bumrah - 48 wickets in 9 matches

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is having the time of his life. Having started his career for India in 2016, he had to wait two years for his Test debut which he got in South Africa early this year.

Bumrah immediately made his presence felt there with impressive performances in the African nation and soon became a regular fixture for India across all the formats. His awkward bowling action made batsmen's lives tougher on seam-friendly pitches.

Even though India lost the Test series in both England and South Africa, Bumrah performed consistently in a format which many believed he was not suited. But his moment of reckoning may have occurred in ongoing series against Australia which might propel him to greatness in Test cricket.

Bumrah picked 48 wickets in 9 matches at an outstanding average of 21.02 in 2018.
