Unquestionably one of the top new-ball bowlers in the game right now, Mohammed Shami has a propensity for getting wickets one after another. David Warner, a left-handed batter, who suffered twice throughout the Test series in India, will be another target for Shami, who is anxious to take advantage of his flaw.
Jaydev Unadkat won’t likely be chosen above Umesh Yadav because he hasn’t participated in a Test in England yet. The Vidarbha seamer boasts nine scalps at a strike rate of 23.56 in two Tests in England and can produce reverse swing using the old cherry. In English conditions, his sheer speed can be deadly, and even when he does not succeed in taking the wickets, he makes sure to apply pressure on the opposition’s batters.
In the WTC final, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami are the likely ones to share the new ball. One of the sharpest bowlers in Test cricket right now is the 28-year-old. After the most recent WTC final, Siraj would like to make a mark. In five Games in England, Siraj has taken 18 wickets at an average of 33.
