#9 Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma bagged seven wickets in the first Test against England at Birmingham, including a five-for in the second innings. He was bowling well in the second Test but was unfortunate that he didn't get more wickets. He has led the attack well in the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and he is a workhorse who can grind his way through with the ball even on the toughest of days.

#10 Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami

Mohammad Shami is in a good run of form. He is bowling with pace and swinging the ball as well. When Shami is in his rhythm and gets the ball to swing late, he is one tough bowler to handle. Shami will be looking to continue his good form and rattle the English batsmen. He was possibly the best bowler for India in the second Test match.

#11 Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah was deemed fit for training but not match-fit prior to the second Test. Pacer Bumrah is likely to be available for selection for the third Test. His unusual action, pace and the bounce which generates off the pitch gives him that X-factor. Bumrah extracts more off the wicket and gets the ball to skid off the surface. He could be the boost that the Indian team wanted in their bowling.
