4 Things India should do to win at Bristol

CRICKET-ENG-IND-T20
India has successfully won the last two T20 series including Nidahas Trophy and Ireland T20 Series and is looking for a hat-trick.

#3 Bring in an outstanding bowling unit

In their last five T20 matches, India has used six seamers on the likes of Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav and Siddarth Kaul.

Yadav was quite impressive towards the end in the last T20 at Cardiff. But on the other hand, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar was quite expensive as he bowled a couple of length balls.

As of now, there is no front line line seamer who could consistently exploit the English batsman by bowling swing as well as pace.

After losing Jasprit Bumrah to a thumb injury, India certainly needs someone to bowl at the helm.

Kaul had a decent debut against Ireland in the 2nd T20 last month when he took a wicket by just giving four runs off his two overs.

As the pitch is probably seamer friendly, either Kaul or Chahar may get a nod. They would certainly be in contention as they could bowl well as that was quite evident in their IPL performances in which they amazed with splendid performance.

Though rejected by Greg Chappell in 2008, Deepak Chahar came back with a power-packed performance in the Ranji Trophy.

His outstanding bowling was certainly evident in the recently held England A Tri-series in which he took 5/27 against West Indies A at Leicester on June 25, 2018, and 3/58 against England Lions at the Oval. Kaul hasn't played a game since his debut at Dublin.
