Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's emergence as world-class bowlers mean India are equipped with one of the most lethal bowling attacks in the world at the moment. Bumrah struggled this season in the IPL, but he remains one of the best death bowlers in the world. His unorthodox action and skiddy deliveries should cause problems to Ireland who would have never faced him before.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a poor IPL for Sunrisers this season. While he bowled probing lines and troubled the best of batsmen, he could not quite get the breakthroughs. He has been Inda's best bowler in the past couple of years though and in England with a hint of swing on offer, will be expected to wreak havoc. The Irish batsmen are not the best going around bar Stirling and India will look to Bhuvneshwar to pick up key early wickets and return at the death and contain the run flow.
