IPL 2019: The best strike bowler in each team

Mumbai Indians- Jasprit Bumrah/Hardik Pandya

The Mumbai Indians have the most number of players from the Indian team and among the popular players, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya top the list along with skipper Rohit Sharma.

While Bumrah is certainly a better bowler than Pandya, both of them have picked up a lot of wickets whenever the side needs them.

Bumrah is the go-to bowler for the team in all situations and has enhanced his wicket-taking abilities further in the past year. He can function against any batsman and can pick up multiple wickets in the death.

Pandya has the shrewdness and tact to pick up wickets despite not possessing the pace or accuracy of Bumrah. Hardik hits the deck hard and sets fields accordingly and despite being expensive, he lures the batsmen into playing attacking strokes and picks up wickets.

Mumbai are one of the stronger sides this season and with wicket-takers like Pandya and Bumrah, they can go all the way last season.
