Bowlers

Yuzvendra Chahal
India is blessed with two brilliant wrist spinners, both of whom are match winners. In his short career, he has won many matches for India. In South Africa, on conditions that aren't favourable to spin, Chahal has taken 16 wickets at an astounding average of just 16. He has been extremely effective in away conditions and has been able to take wickets in the middle overs. He will lead the spin attack in this XI
Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav has formed a brilliant partnership with Chahal at the top of the order and has bamboozled many batsmen with his rare chinaman spin. He is also a thinking bowler and possesses an undecipherable googly. Kuldeep can also be aggressive in overseas conditions. He will be a vital part of this playing Xi and will trouble the opposition especially when there are many left-handers.
Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah has become India's number one bowler and is equally effective in the powerplay and the death overs. He can provide a lot of variations and can reduce the run rate. He has a great yorker that can quickly get most batsmen out. He is also the number one bowler in ODI's. Bumrah will be the spearhead of this bowling attack.
Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur is a consistent bowler in domestic cricket and has tasted success in the limited opportunities that he has gotten as part of the Indian team. He is a wicket-taking bowler who can swing the ball. His economy rate may not be the best, but he makes up for that with his good strike rate. He can also bowl at a consistent pace. He will be a new ball and death over bowler in this side.
