T20 is a format dominated by batsmen but it is the bowlers who make it more interesting. Bowling in this format can be a pretty hard and daunting task. Bowlers often find themselves in a tough situation yet only these situations help us in differentiating best from the rest.

#5. Dwayne Bravo - He has recently become the first bowler to take more than 500 wickets in the T20 format. This is good enough reason to add him to this list.

He will be continuing his association with Chennai Super Kings this season too.
