5 reasons why India's dominance in Tests will continue for a while

3. All-condition bowlers

Shami and Bumrah

The spin department has been India's best bet in Tests since their entry into the sport. Their spinners have been known to utilize turning tracks and take wickets by the truckload.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been the mainstays of the spin department with their superb record in Asia. Overseas teams spend weeks and months preparing for them, and still cannot find a way past.

But it is the performance of the pace bowlers that has given India an edge in recent times. Since his debut last year, Jasprit Bumrah has been phenomenal in both home and away conditions.

Along with him, Mohammad Shami and Ishant Sharma have combined to form a fantastic fast bowling trio for India. They specialize in different aspects, and that makes them work beautifully together, complementing each other's skills.

Umesh Yadav's efforts in the last match against South Africa, coupled with the fact that a bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar is in reserve, speaks volumes about the potency of India's bowling attack.
