India vs England 2018: India's ideal XI for the second Test against England

#4. Fast Bowlers: Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah

Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma picked up five wickets in the second innings proving that he can bowl good, nagging lines consistently. His experience of having previously bowled in England was on full display as he provided much-needed experience and consistency to the Indian attack. He will be looking to continue the same performance in the second Test.

Mohammad Shami looked good in patches but was not able to bowl consistently in the corridor of uncertainty for the batsman. Despite that, he provided India with few important breakthroughs. He will be however looking to up his game in the second test match.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be fit for India's second Test against England at Lord's and if he is fit, in all likeliness he will be replacing Umesh Yadav who didn't have the best of the test match. Jasprit Bumrah's natural pace, unique arm action, accuracy etc. makes him a match winner. Bumrah will play a key role in deceiving top order batsmen with his skiddy pace and will look to get the better of the tailenders with his impeccable yorkers.
