Bhuvi and Bumrah have complimented each other really well

India has always been known as a spin-heavy team and that has been the main reason for India's struggles in overseas conditions. But this has changed in the last few years due to the emergence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. Bhuvneshwar was always a consistent swing bowler but he has become dominant after working on his pace. Fondly called Bhuvi by teammates, the bowler has been able to bowl consistently above 135 kph and looks more lethal than before. He has also improved a lot when bowling in the death overs with his accurate yorkers.

Since his debut in 2016, Bumrah has been a go-to bowler for India. Bumrah has an unusual action which makes it difficult for the opposition batsmen to come up with a fixed strategy. Like Bhuvi, Bumrah also bowls extremely well in the death overs, making it arduous for the opposition team to get easy runs in the slog overs. Indian pacers have been guilty of giving away free runs in the death overs, but with Bhuvi and Bumrah in the side, that problem seems to have been fixed.
