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

#10 Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami was the unsung hero of India in Vizag. Not only did he outsmart two of England’s best batsmen – Alastair Cook and Joe Root – but the manner with which he got those two wickets impressed one and all. The most heartening thing about Shami is that even though it’s the spinners who are expected to take the bulk of the wickets, Shami tries to bowl aggressively and looks to take wickets. The Mohali pitch should provide assistance to Shami early on, and India’s pace spearhead would be looking to make utmost use of the helpful conditions.
