Bowlers

#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The Unsung hero

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most improved bowlers in recent history. He is a master of swing which allows him to take wickets up top but with constant 140+ clicks and lethal yorkers, Bhuvneshwar has become a death bowling specialist. He can come handy with the bat as he has the knack of hanging with any other regular batsmen. Kumar is an out and out team player that every captain would love to have on his team.

#9 Kuldeep Yadav

The Mystery Spinner

The Chinaman bowler will be seen playing his first major tournament. He has tormented every opponent put before him, and has been successful in all types of wickets. This is a bigger stage for him to prove once again why he is the best spinner right now in the limited overs format. Kuldeep has taken 48 wickets in just 23 matches. His unorthodox bowling will be handy in the middle overs, and he will be looking to pick wickets and choke the runs along with his partner in crime Chahal.

#10 Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal along with this partner Kuldeep has performed exceedingly well in the past one year. Chahal has picked up 45 wickets in just 26 matches that he has played. Chahal is not afraid to toss the ball up and get hit for runs. Like always, India will be looking towards Chahal, and his partner Kuldeep to get the job done. This may well be the series where he secures his spot for the World Cup.

#11 Jasprit Bumrah

Boom Boom Bumrah

The World's No.1 ODI bowler will be looking at this Asia Cup as a training ground before the big event next year. Bumrah has been the captain's go to bowler in all formats of the game, and Rohit Sharma will be looking at Bumrah to lead the attack when the chips are down. His slow knuckle balls, and his lethal yorkers can deceive even the best batsmen. Bumrah is the pillar of Indian bowling attack and he will be key in India's Asia Cup defence.
