Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the cheapest with an economy rate of 4.47
Unlike in 2013 when the seven-match ODI series between these two teams saw nine 300+ scores, India and Australia managed to cross the 300-run mark only twice together. Naturally, the strike-rate of bowlers which is usually on the higher side in the subcontinent saw a considerable dip.

Among the bowlers who played at least three of the matches and bowled 20 overs or more in the series, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the cheapest with an economy rate of 4.47. Closely following him is Pat Cummins, who gave away runs at 4.68 per over. While Coulter-Nile was the third most economical bowler, Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah were fourth and fifth on the list of best economy rates.
