Fast bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave India the perfect start by taking a wicket in each of his first three overs. He moved the ball both ways and troubled the hosts throughout the match.
As a batsman, Kumar was involved in a face-saving 99-run partnership with Hardik Pandya for the eighth wicket and will be looking to carry his fine form in both departments into the second Test.
Mohammed Shami
On his day, Shami can destroy any batting unit. He gave a glimpse of his brilliance in the morning session of the fourth day.
The spearhead of India's bowling attack, Shami has pace and movement in his arsenal. In addition, the fast bowler has mastered the art of reverse-swing.
Jasprit Bumrah
Everyone was shocked with the inclusion of Jasprit Bumrah in the playing XI for the first Test at the expense of Ishant Sharma. The fast bowler is considered a death-bowling specialist in limited-overs cricket and had not played a first-class match in the past year.
In the first innings, the lanky pacer was accused of bowling a line and length reserved for the shorter formats. However, Bumrah adjusted his line of attack and took three wickets in the second innings.
