India's expected bowling line-up for the Australia Test series

India's arduous tour of England finally came to an end after losing the Test series by 4-1. The Indian team fought tooth and nail in the entire series but failed to capitalize on the crucial moments which led to their downfall.

The number one Test team will now face West Indies at home, and then the big challenge awaits in Australia where they will face the mighty Aussies in November.

The Test series down under will be a big opportunity for the Indian team as the Australian side will be without the services of David Warner and Steve Smith. India's rejuvenated bowling attack will be another factor that could favor them in this series.

Let us find out the expected Indian bowling attack for the Test series against Australia.

#5 Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin will be a key player in the Indian bowling attack

In the England Test series, Ravichandran Ashwin had a mediocre outing with the ball. He looked in top-notch form in the first Test picking up seven wickets, but in the latter part of the series, his performance considerably dropped.

Ashwin picked up 11 wickets in the entire series and had missed the last Test due to injury. Even though he did not pick the expected number of wickets, but he looked like an improved bowler who can take wickets in the overseas condition.

The Tamil Nadu off-spinner also provides vital contribution with the bat and has a sound technique. He could be a big asset in the upcoming Australian tour and will play a major role in the series.

#4 Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja has a good record against the Australian team

Ravindra Jadeja had missed the majority of the Test series in England and had to sit out of the playing XI to accommodate Hardik Pandya. Considering Hardik's contribution in the series both with the bat and ball it was a disappointing effort. In contrast, Jadeja looked in great touch in all the three departments.

In the fifth Test, Jadeja took four wickets in the first innings and three in the second. With the bat, he scored an unbeaten 86 and looked in sublime touch. His all-around performance in the only Test he played was one of the biggest positives of the series.

Jadeja's improved performance is a good sign for the Indian team especially considering the overseas conditions. Also, he will be an ideal replacement for Hardik and will likely feature in the playing XI along with Ashwin in all the matches. He will be more than handy in Adeiadle and Sydney where it favours the spin bowling more.

#3 Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma has played 87 Tests for India

The rejuvenation of Ishant Sharma after the county stint has been impressive and looked a different bowler altogether. He has been bowling more accurate than ever and had picked a heap of wickets in the England Tests.

In this series, the lanky fast bowler had picked up 18 wickets at an average of 24.27. He is the most crucial bowler for the Australian tour as he will be the most experienced player in these conditions.

The Delhi pacer has been part of the Indian squad in 2007-08, 2011-12 and 2014-15 Australian tours and has picked up 20 wickets in 10 Tests including the famous spell in Perth Test.

Ishant has looked in great form and has proved that he could lead the Indian bowling attack. If India needs to triumph in this series, it will be important that Ishant performs well.

#2 Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah took 14 wickets in 3 Tests against England

The journey of Jasprit Bumrah has been nothing less than a fairytale story. From a specialist T20 bowler to India's top Test bowler, the rise of Bumrah has been incredible.

Bumrah has now become an integral member of the Indian team in all the three formats. He produces been Virat Kohli's go-to skipper and has delivered when the team needs him the most. He has played three Tests each in South Africa and England and looked impressive in these conditions.

Bumrah will surely feature in the playing XI in the Australia series, and it will be exciting to see how he performs. The Baroda pace bowler would enjoy bowling on these pitches where pace and bounce will be there across all the venues.

Without the presence of David Warner and Steve Smith in the Australian team, Bumrah could run through the Aussie batting line-up with his fiery fast bowling spells.

#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar had missed the entire Test series against England

India's Test series loss against the England team was a disappointing end to the tour after playing competitive cricket throughout the English summer. The Indian team had missed the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar who could have made a huge difference to the scoreline.

Bhuvneshwar has been the premier bowler for team India, and on top of that, he has made a crucial contribution with the bat in the lower order.

Bhuvneshwar will be key to the success for the Australian Test series as he could provide a balance to the team with his batting abilities, and India can go with an extra-spinner instead of playing Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder.

Bhuvneshwar's ability to swing the ball both ways makes him a dangerous bowler and could pick a heap of wickets early in the innings. He will also play a key role in India's lower-order batting by scoring some crucial runs.
