Seamers:
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
If there is one bowler who doesn’t need any rest, then it has to be Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He missed the first three Test matches against Australia and also was warming the benches during the World Cup since India had preferred Umesh, Shami and Mohit ahead of him. So the youngster has missed enough matches to sit out of this one.
Ishant Sharma
The selectors won’t be taking a gamble with Mohammad Shami after the speedster missed the entire IPL with an injury. That presents Ishant Sharma with another opportunity to lead the bowling attack. He has enough experience of bowling in similar surfaces and he needs to step up again in order to silence his critics.
