Indian bowling attack has improved leaps and bounds over the years. The pace battery aided by spin has performed very well in both home and abroad. This was very much evident in the recently concluded series against England in England.

The pace attack of Bhuvneswar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Jaspirit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav have all performed consistently well and picked up 20 wickets in Test matches quite regularly.

Even the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, who had a terrible record in overseas, performed well in both South Africa and England tours earlier this year. This should give him the much-needed confidence going into the first Test at Adelaide.

With the pitch at Adelaide assisting the spinners on the fourth and fifth day, it would be interesting to see who gets picked between Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.

If the Indian bowlers do well, they should be able to pick up 20 wickets against the inexperienced Australian batsmen and go 1-0 up in Adelaide.
