#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar
All eyes will be on Bhuvneshwar Kumar after Jasprit Bumrah was rested by the selectors for the ODI series. Bhuvi didn't play a single game in the Test series against the Aussies with the team sticking to the pace bowling trio of Bumrah, Shami and Ishant Sharma.
The ability of Kumar to swing the ball both ways is something that makes him even more dangerous. He will be playing a crucial role in the side along with Shami as India will look to win the ODI series as well.
Bhuvenshwar was earlier on rested for the first 2 ODIs against the Windies after which he was called back due to the Windies run scoring in the 2nd ODI. He didn't have a good ODI series according to his standards as he was only able to pick 3 wickets in the 3 games at an average of 37 with an economy rate of 5.84.
His performance in the second game of the T20 series was really impressive as he picked up 2 wickets in his 4 over spell going for just 12 runs. Whereas in the final T20 he was very expensive as he went for 39 runs in 4 overs.
Bhuvneshwar was selected for the T20 series against the Aussies where he went wicketless in the first and third game. In the second game, he picked up figures of 2 for 20 in his 3 over spell.
The Indian hopes will heavily be lying on Bhuvneshwar who too will be looking to put up an impressive performance.
