One of the finest pacers in world cricket at the moment, the top-ranked ODI bowler from India has been improving with each passing day. One of the hottest properties of Indian cricket at present, Bumrah was outstanding in his first year in Test cricket and his workload is being managed carefully by the team management considering his importance in the World Cup. Making headlines with his yorkers in the initial phase of his career, Bumrah has developed himself into someone whom the captain can rely on at any stage of the game.

In 2018, Bumrah picked 22 wickets from 13 games at an incredible average of 16.63 and strike rate of 27.5. His economy of 3.62 is more than impressive in modern day cricket, more so considering he bowls most of his overs at the start and the death overs.
