Simon Harmer (South Africa)
South Africa’s seasoned off-spinner was at the heart of their historic 2-0 Test series win over India, which was the Proteas’ first in the Asian country for 25 years.
Harmer claimed a staggering 17 wickets at an extraordinary average of 8.94 across the two Tests in Kolkata and Guwahati.
The 36-year-old took eight wickets in the opening Test and backed it with nine more in the second, which included a wizardry 6/37 as India fell by 408 runs to give the Proteas a series sweep.
His dominance throughout the series earned him the Player of the Series award for his 17 scalps with the ball.
