#4 Particular Bowlers for Particular Batsmen
India should open the bowling with Ishant Sharma and Bumrah with the new ball. Throughout the series, the England openers were more vulnerable to Ishant Sharma and looked like getting out to him anytime. India should inflict this psychological advantage on the England openers.
Shami has this tendency to spray the new ball and hence should be brought in as first change. Shami could be more effective with the old ball against the left-handers in the middle-order, Ben Stokes, Sam Curran and Moeen Al, if selected.
The newcomer Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler should be welcomed with spin to start with. Jos Buttler’s natural aggression against the spinner could lead to his early downfall.
The third Test hero Hardik Pandya should be given more number of overs in the first innings ahead of Jadeja.
The England tail should be exposed to Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. The Indian bowlers should fire in unison to take wickets at regular intervals to choke up the run flow.
