India in South Africa 2018: Watch out for the top 5 Indians

England v India: 2nd Investec Test - Day Five

#2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

England v India: 5th Investec Test - Day One
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will spearhead the Indian bowling attack

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in splendid form at home and is set to lead the Indian pace attack along with Ishant Sharma. Though only 19 Tests old, he has shown a lot of maturity with the new ball. He has also increased his pace and is a threat to the batsman with his ability to swing the ball both ways.

This will be his second tour of South Africa, but he did not get a game in the previous one. He will look to make good use of the opportunity and give his team early breakthroughs to gain the upper hand in the series. His best figures of 6/82 have also come abroad, when he rattled the English batting at Lord's. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also upped his batting game recently, pulling India out of trouble with decent scores at the bottom.

Bhuvi, as he is called by his teammates and fans, has to be at his best to provide India the edge.
