#6. Fast Bowlers
Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian pacer couldn't have asked for a better comeback to the side after recovering from an injury. Bumrah single-handedly scripted India's victory with figures of 29-8-85-5 in the second innings.
The batsman had no clue about Bumrah's line and lengths and fell prey to his inswingers. With the form he is in right now, Bumrah would look to ride on his great form for the next match too.
Umesh Yadav might be drafted in the squad for the fourth test to replace Mohammad Shami as the pitch in Southampton is tailor-made for his bouncers and his lethal out-swingers.
Moreover, Shami did not justify his place in the squad. He did manage only two wickets in the entire match.
Ishant Sharma has grown on to become one of India's finest Test bowlers. Despite not taking many wickets, he has always posed threat to the batsmen and has unsettled the batters at the crease.
Ishant Sharma scalped the important wickets of openers Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings in the second innings which proved to be one of the defining moments of the game. With the speed he generates in his bowling, he will always pose a threat to the batsmen. He is a certainty in the playing XI for the next Test match.
