#Fast Bowlers
Mitchell Starc (Australia)
The fiercest and most fear-generating bowler of this era, the left arm pacer has all the elements in his bowling to make batting a nightmare for almost any batsman and at any pitch. He has wielded influence over the subcontinental tracks as well, even with the willow.
Starc has claimed 34 wickets in 9 games against India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which speaks wonders of his ability. The left arm pacer's 24 scalps in 3 games against Sri Lanka was one of the few positives in Australia's whitewash in 2016.
The World Cup Man of the Tournament has enjoyed success with the bat in India, notching 263 runs in 4 games, including his highest Test score of 99 at Mohali in 2013.
James Anderson (England)
Anderson, the most prolific pacer in the history of Tests has scripted glories in Asia with his stupendous bowling. A major exponent of swing bowling, James Anderson was one of the heroes in the epic series win of England on the Indian turf in 2012-13, as he emerged as the most successful pacer with 12 wickets.
The 36-year old has taken 59 wickets in 17 games in Asia, including a whopping 22 wickets in a 3-game series against Pakistan in 2015.
Trent Boult (New Zealand)
Thunder Bolt, as he is lovingly addressed, is a vital cog in the current crop of Kiwi players and has proved his mettle in the challenging subcontinental conditions as well.
Among the Asian sides, Boult has featured the most against India and has picked up 15 wickets in 5 fixtures. He has picked up 20 wickets in the remaining 7 games against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The left arm pacer also has an unbeaten 52 to his credit, which he scored against Bangladesh.
