Over the years, when it comes to the Indian Premier League [IPL], we have seen that the teams with stronger bowling attacks usually perform very well.
A case in point is last season when Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the Purple Cap and his team – Sunrisers Hyderabad – won the IPL title. The Indian pacer picked up 23 wickets in a season that he will remember for a long time to come.
