One of the most ferocious in-form fast bowlers around, Mohammad Amir is a menace who can wreak havoc on his day. While Amir has often been criticised for his inconsistency, but the left-arm pacer’s potential has never been questioned. The left-arm pacer was at his brutal best against Australia as he claimed his first 5-wicket haul in ODI cricket.

The last time Amir squared up against Indian batsmen was back in 2017 when Pakistan defeated their arch-rivals in the ICC Champions Trophy final. He played a key role in Pakistan’s historic victory as he sent the top-order trio of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli back to the pavilion in his first spell itself.

Jasprit Bumrah is the number 1 ranked ODI bowler in ICC's list and that alone speaks for his genius. Bumrah has made a name for himself as one of the most effective bowlers around and his ability to bowl devastating yorkers is something which frightens batsmen all around.

Bumrah has often been economical at the business end which is why Virat Kohli relies on the bowler in the death overs. Bumrah's deserves a place on this list owing to his past record and current form.

India's swing sensation Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a terrific outing against Australia. His swing bowling seemed to trouble Australian batsmen as he took 3 wickets to help his side successfully defend their total against the current World Champions.

Bhuvneshwar's bowing style make him a valuable asset to the Indin side and it is fair to say the English conditions suit him the most amongst all the bowlers on either side.

From Harbhajan Singh to Anil Kumble, India has produced some of the finest spinners of all-time. While the veterans have long gone, there is a leggie on the block who has been impressing cricket fans with his skills with the ball and that man is Yuzvendra Chahal.

The Indian spinner was instrumental in India's victory over South Africa as he took 4 wickets to help the men in blue restrict their opponents for a paltry score of 227.
