#2 Rest Jasprit Bumrah

Similar to Kohli, Bumrah has also had a very long tour so far. He has featured in all the three test matches followed by all the ODIs. He has been consistent, economical and a wicket taker whenever the team has needed him to take wickets.
With the T20 series coming up, it won't be a bad idea to give Bumrah a break and bring in Mohammed Shami or Shardul Thakur in his place. Shami has had a good long break after the test series and he probably is our third pacer after Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah. But it won't be a bad idea to give Shardul Thakur a go, just to put him out on the field and see how he goes about his job.
With Jasprit Bumrah being the most reliable death bowler for India right now and Bhuvneshwar having been a little expensive and generally struggling to get wickets, it wouldn't hurt to see Shami or Shardul bowling a few of those death overs to keep the backups ready.
