Will Shami remain fit for the duration of the series?
In South Africa, the bulk of the runs with the bat came from the bat of Virat Kohli while the rest played around him, without making any sizeable contributions. In England, it will be very interesting to see what happens if he failed and the mantle of taking the team to a big enough score fell on others.
Also, there is a question mark hanging almost always on Mohammad Shami and his fitness. With no Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the squad, India's swing bowling stocks depend on Shami and he will need to be monitored carefully if India are to do well in the series.
