#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvi and the playing conditions in England is a match made up in heaven. Here is a man who is known throughout the cricketing fraternity as probably the best swing bowler of the present generation, and the playing conditions in England, where there is constant wind, are tailor-made for him.
His importance to the squad can be calculated from the fact that the last time India visited England for a full tour in 2014, he was India's most successful bowler and even won the Player of the Series in the Test Series.
Apart from swing, Bhuvi has developed a new ability of bowling yorkers during the death overs, something that is a crucial weapon in any bowlers arsenal.
Just like his fantastic performance in South Africa earlier this year, Bhuvi will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders to lead the Indian bowling lineup for almost three months.
Bhuvi has been bowling brilliantly for more than 12 months now, and if India wants to win in England, he has to play the role of the game changer with the ball.
