After missing out in the first match to Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar came back to the side in the second ODI and made all the difference as he helped India get over the line and clinch the series. His ability to swing the ball early in the game and bowl yorkers at the death, makes him an invaluable asset.
Jasprit Bumrah may have picked two wickets in each of the first two ODIs but has been incredibly expensive. However, his ability to nail his yorkers and the awkward angle and trajectory that he creates makes him someone that is hard to handle early on.
