2 - Jasprit Bumrah: Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is a bowler of a rare species, having won matches single-handedly for India. Bumrah has been committed to Test cricket despite managing his workload due to his back issue, as he played both the Test matches against the West Indies. Bumrah has taken 173 wickets in 73 innings in the WTC with 12 fifers.
