Bhuvneshwar Kumar will look to sign off with a top-notch performance
Ad
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has added a touch of pace to his arsenal and now looks unplayable. He played just a single match in the Test series but finished with the side's best figures. He picked up a wicket apiece in the first two ODIs and the onus will be on him to get his side off to the perfect start with the ball.
Jasprit Bumrah was rewarded for a sensational 2017 with a call-up to the Indian squad for the South African tour. He was the pick of the bowlers in the second ODI, sending opener Gunathilaka back to the hut before coming back at the death to dismiss Akila Dananjaya. Bumrah is one of the leading death-bowlers going around and with the big hitters Sri Lanka possess lower down the order, he needs to be on top of his game if India are to restrict the Lankans.

Arvind Sriram
After a brief and undistinguished stint as an electrical engineer, Arvind discovered his true calling was churning out hyperbolic prose about athletes he had never met.
A writer and editor with close to a decade’s experience, Arvind’s work has been published on Sky Sports, the BBC, the Guardian and other leading websites. He has attended multiple Grand Slams on the ground and provided coverage for Super Bowls and the NBA playoffs.
As a lifelong fan of Arsenal and the Indianapolis Colts, he has mastered the art of managing expectations and can convince anyone that finishing fourth is a moral victory.
When not armchair quarterbacking, Arvind spends his time playing blitz chess online, watching air crash documentaries and smashing controllers after his latest Weekend League defeat.
