Five players to look out for in the IPL Final

2) JASPRIT BUMRAH (MI)

Jasprit Bumrah has slowly but surely turned into one of the best limited overs pacer of India. He has been splendid with the ball especially in the death where his yorkers are almost impossible to play. He showed his skill in the super over against GL wherein he helped MI defend 11 runs inspite of bowling a wide and a no ball against batsmen like McCullum and Finch. Bumrah has also got some variations which have helped him pick up wickets at crucial junctures. He has been a huge asset for the Rohit Sharma led team in this IPL as well as in previous seasons.

He is 4^th on the Purple Cap list with 18 scalps in 15 matches at a mindblowing average of 23.22 and a super impressive economy of just 7.42. His strike rate of 18.77 has been applauded by legends of the game who have called him the biggest find of Mumbai Indians and India. Bumrah would love to play to the best of his capabilities tonight and help the Mumbai Indians add a 3^rd star on their jersey. With the best bowling figures of 3/7, Bumrah certainly has the capacity to turn a match on its head. With veteran Malinga guiding this young 23 year old boy from Gujarat, Indian cricket might just be the ultimate beneficiary with the Champions trophy around the corner.
