Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The right-arm seamer has looked good in both matches, but Kohli and co. will want more from him at the start of the innings. Kumar faces a tricky proposition bowling with the white ball in English conditions. With very little swing on offer, it negates his strengths to a great extent.
However, when the ball isn't swinging, the next best thing could be to keep it stump-to-stump and not provide any room for the batsman to free his arms, something that Umesh Yadav has done and reaped rewards for it.
