11. Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians)
Entrusted with the responsibility of spearheading MI’s much-vaunted bowling attack, the twenty-four-year-old paceman was at his lethal best this season as he bagged 17 scalps from 14 games to finish as the fifth-highest wicket taker of the tournament.
Called in to bowl during the two most vital periods of a T20 innings—the Powerplay and the death overs—Bumrah’s forte of marrying pace with precision and firing in incessant yorkers meant he hardly gave away easy runs when the opposition batsmen were trying to go all hammer and tongs against him, as is evidenced by his miserly economy rate of 6.88—the second best among bowlers with more than twenty overs to their name. In what panned out as a largely unforgettable season for the three-time champions, Bumrah’s indispensability in the bowling department was one of the few bright spots.
