Australia v India - Game 4
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has established himself as a regular in the Indian side

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

After impressive performances in IPL 2017 that he carried in to the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has established himself as a regular in the Indian ODI side. With his ability to swing the new ball coupled with his accuracy and variety at the death, Bhuvi has it all and has consistently shown that he can be relied upon, irrespective of the situation.

Jasprit Bumrah

After being rested for the limited-overs series against West Indies, Jasprit Bumrah looks set to be back in the ODI set-up. Although he needs to curb his tendency of bowling too many no balls, he has shown considerable composure in his brief international career so far. From MS Dhoni to Virat Kohli, he has been the go-to bowler for Indian captains, especially in crunch situations.

His accurate yorkers have made him incredibly hard to get away and that is reflected in his career economy rate of under 5 in ODIs.

Mohammed Shami

Shami hasn't had too much luck when it has come to injuries but has shown time and again that when he is fit, he is arguably the best bowler India has at the moment. In the two ODIs, he played against West Indies, he finished with four wickets and is showing signs of getting back to the form he showed in the 2015 World Cup.

The 26-year-old is currently chasing Mitchell Starc's world record of being the fastest to 100 ODI wickets. The Australian seamer got to the mark in 52 matches and Shami currently has 91 from 49 matches.

Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav has always been a very quick bowler. In fact, one of the reasons why he has been around the Indian set-up for so long has been his ability to bowl quick. But in the last couple of years, Umesh had become more accurate and shown that he can be much more than just a quick bowler. And that is why he has been so successful across all formats and is likely to continue to take his place in the Indian ODI squad.
