Jasprit Bumrah was arguably the best bowler on show in the recently concluded 50-over World Cup. The No. 1 ranked bowler in the world carried the Indian team’s hopes on his shoulders and was India’s best player during the tournament. Bumrah had also helped Mumbai clinch the IPL 2019 with another brilliant season with the ball. The Indian team management will Bumrah for the upcoming West Indies tour as he has been playing non-stop cricket for last few months.

Navdeep Saini is one of the few bowlers who can consistently bowl in the high 140s. After some excellent performances in the IPL 2019 for RCB, he was named as one of the reserves for the Indian team for the World Cup. He is currently making headlines for India A in the West Indies with some match-winning performances. He can be groomed as a long-term replacement for Bumrah.
