5 reasons why India can win the 2019 World Cup

#3 Death bowling expertise

Bhuvneshwar Kumar along with Bumrah will be key to India's success

One key aspect that differentiates the Indian team from most teams in the World Cup next year is the presence of top-notch death bowling options. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have become a formidable duo and are ensuring that the scoring rate is under control even in the death overs.

The way in which the two premium fast bowlers have evolved over a period of time makes them much more valuable to the team. Bumrah is no more just a bowler who relies only on the yorker. Even though yorker remains his biggest weapon, Bumrah added quite a few variations in his pace and length making him more potent.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, on the other hand, burst into the international arena primarily as a swing bowler. In the last few years, Bhuvneshwar has not only added pace but also the mastered many new variations - slower ones, cutter, and the knuckleball.
