8. Chris Woakes

England’s highest wicket-taker with six scalps, Chris Woakes will be the first bowler to make into the list. With the new ball, he dismantled India’s top-order in all three of the games, especially in Cuttack, where he removed Rahul, Virat and Dhawan in the span of two overs. Though a bit vulnerable in death overs, Woakes defended six of last four balls at Eden Gardens to earn his side a consolation win in the series.
