India vs South Africa | Top 5 bowlers who can take most wickets in this series

#1 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin will be the best bet and the go-to bowler on Indian pitches

'A limited-overs discard' isn't the ideal way to describe Ravichandran Ashwin's dwindling career under captain Virat Kohli. The finger spinner currently stands at the top of the most wickets column for current Indian bowlers against South Africa in Test match cricket. His 38 wickets against the Proteas have come under an astounding average of just under 15 with four 5-wicket hauls. The recently concluded series against the West Indies saw India's lead spinner ignored for both the matches by Virat Kohli. The skipper had to face a lot of slack from former greats but two wins in two reaffirmed Kohli's belief of committing to the same the playing XI.

#Special Mention - Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami can turn out to be the surprise element

Hailed by Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli as the fittest and the most improved fast bowlers in the Indian team, Mohammed Shami's record against South Africa speaks for itself. He might have played only 3 Tests against the Proteas, but his 15 wickets on Indian pitches with minimal assistance for fast bowlers in 2018 helped him heap praise from the entire cricketing community. Troubled by off field circumstances, Mohammed Shami continues to shine and wreak havoc on the visiting teams.
