#4 A selection headache regarding pacers

India have a problem in terms of their pace attack but the kind that Anil Kumble would like to have. At the moment, the Men in Blue have four pacers bowling some pretty fiery stuff. However, they are likely to select only three of them as one has to miss out.

Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have made a strong case for themselves with scintillating performances in the warm-up games with Jasprit Bumrah the only one yet to fire in the two games. However, given the reputation of his death bowling and his performances in the recently concluded IPL, he should be one of the first names on the team sheet. And the battle will be between the trio of Kumar, Shami and Umesh - one which we will all be keen to watch out for.
