India will look to improve their recent test record in England

#2. Bounce them out

Australia v India - 1st Test: Day 1
All the 3 Indian quicks are good at bowling bouncers

The last Indian victory in a test in England came when Ishant Sharma bounced the English team out. The English batsmen refused to play defensive against his bouncers and paid a heavy price. This time around, alongside Ishant Sharma, India has 2 genuine pacers who can bowl at 140+ kmph on a regular basis.

Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav, both are skiddy customers with a good bouncer that can surprise any batsmen, especially when the English batsmen would be expecting them to bowl fuller lengths on swinging tracks.

India's all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, too has a capability to bowl decent bouncer and can complement the regular pacers if they decide to bombard the hosts with bouncers.
