Strongest  Indian playing XI for the Test series in Australia

#4 Fast bowlers - Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar is a lethal swing bowler with a knack of getting early wickets. He has the ability to swing the bowl both ways of the wicket and usually bowls with a good line and length. He has played only one test in Australia and will look to create a good bowling record there during the upcoming Australian tour.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is always a threat for any opposition batsman as he is always looking to attack and take wickets. He is a great find for India and has become a top performer for the Indian team. He is the x-factor in the Indian bowling unit as he has the ability to understand the situation of the game very well and delivers good performances when the team requires it.

Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma is the work-horse in the Indian fast bowling unit. His ability to hold down one end helps the other pace bowlers to attack from the other end and take wickets. When the situation demands he can also bowl aggressively and make the opposition batsmen give away their wickets. His bowling will be crucial to India's chances during the Australian tour.

Mohammad Shami

Mohammad Shami possesses good pace and moves the old and the new ball equally well. He has the ability to pluck out wickets out of nowhere when the team is struggling to take a wicket. He needs to bowl well in Australia and support the other fast bowlers to lead India to a maiden series win down under.
