Pace and bounce dominated the two previous partnerships in this list, this partnership is all about the swing. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a complete bowler and can swing the new ball at pace, and is equally effective in the death overs with his variations.

Though Sandeep Sharma did not make it big in international cricket, he has impressed in the IPL, over the years. He picked up 18, 13, 15, and 17 wickets respectively in his last four IPL seasons, most of them with the new ball.

With their ability to swing the ball both ways, these two could really make it hard for the opening batsmen to get into a rhythm. Expect them to be amongst the wickets in IPL 2018.
