Top 10 fast-bowlers in ODI cricket at the moment

#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is lethal with the new ball

Bhuvi, as his teammates call him, burst onto the international scene as a bowler who didn’t have much pace but could fox the batsmen with his wily swing. Early on in his career, swing and control were his main weapons. He was brilliant up front with the new ball but struggled in the middle and death overs, which often resulted in captains finishing off his quota of overs very quickly.

In the last couple of years, Bhuvneshwar has added an extra yard of pace while maintaining his swing. He has turned into an excellent death bowler and can be relied upon to do the job for his team. He has a good cricketing brain and more often than not anticipates what the batsmen are attempting.

In 2017, he has enjoyed a fair run, picking up 15 wickets. He was also India’s leading wicket-taker in the Champions Trophy this year.
