With 18 wickets in 10 matches, Williams emerged as the most successful pacer of 2017 in twenty-over cricket.

The 27-year-old was particularly impressive in the three-match series against Afghanistan where he took eight wickets and helped the hosts clinch the series 3-0.

Jasprit Bumrah, who was the leading wicket-taker in the shortest format of the game in 2016, did not fail to impress in 2017 as well.

Although he is the eight-highest wicket-taker in T20Is this year, his ability to take wickets in the death overs makes him quite indispensable for India in limited-overs cricket.

Bumrah, who became the top-ranked bowler in T20Is in October this year, ended the year on the third spot with 12 wickets in 11 matches.

Babar Azam (Pakistan)

Australia v Pakistan - 5th ODI
