India vs England 2016: India's predicted XI for the second Test

#10 Mohammad Shami

Indian fans would surely have been concerned when Shami hobbled off the field at the end of the first day, sending fears of another possible addition to the dreaded injury list.Sanjay Bangar was quick to clarify that Shami had just been suffering from cramps, and was fit to carry on.

Umesh Yadav’s dubious form, coupled with the unavailability of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has put more stress on Shami to get the initial breakthroughs. The spin-battery’s hurtling form hasn’t helped one bit. Shami’s reverse-swinging abilities can surely be the saviour.
