Jasprit Bumrah, the undisputed king in bowling with his exceptional skills and yorkers, secured the third spot with three votes.
These results underscore the admiration and respect that Indian cricketers command in neighboring countries. The desire to have Kohli, Yadav, or Bumrah in their team highlights the impact these players have had on the global cricketing landscape.
