Bowlers:
Since I'm playing Pandya as a third seamer, there is room for only two fast bowlers in my team. Since I wanted players who did not get a chance during the previous games, to get a chance, I am going to have Shardul Thakur in my team.
Who is the other pacer then? I'll have Jasprit Bumrah in the team, as this can be a test for him whether he can lead a pace attack in the absence of senior bowlers. He is already the go-to-man for Kohli when he needs wickets. The additional responsibility will make him grow as a bowler, a leader and as a person.
This might seem harsh on Shami and Ishant who bowled so well throughout the series, but they can see this as a well-deserved break.
Bowlers: Shardul Thakur and Jasprit Bumrah
Final XI:
Kl Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, Cheteswar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Karun Nair, Hanuma Vihari, Rishab Pant(wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah.
