She is also the highest wicket taker in the format, with a superb economy rate of 3.25 in ODIs. In the second match against New Zealand, Goswami took three for 23 and has been captain Raj’s go-to bowler over the years. Goswami can open with the new ball in this line-up.

Mohammad Shami made an incredible comeback in the New Zealand series

Mohammad Shami found his form in New Zealand and was voted player of the series for his efforts. He was consistent in giving the initial breakthroughs by dismissing the New Zealand openers right through the series. He got nine wickets at an average of 15.33 and an economy rate of 4.75 and so should share the new ball with Goswami. While the likes of Bhuvaneswar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah would have made the team overall, since this team is based on performances in the New Zealand series, Shami gets the spot.
