1. Jasprit Bumrah – Vicky Kaushal

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best death bowlers in the world right now. The pacer has evolved with his game very quickly and made rapid progress in such a short time and across formats. He is extremely reliable with the ball and the go-to man in tough situations. Bumrah can be compared to someone like Vicky Kaushal from Bollywood.
