IND vs ENG: Top 5 Bowlers To Watch Out For In The Test Series

James Anderson

Anderson at 39 is still going strong for England. He was added to the squad for the Test series against Kiwis after being ignored for the Test series against West Indies. He has a particularly good record against India in Test cricket with over 100 wickets against the side. The seamer will be the most important bowler to watch out for given his storied career so far.

Stuart Broad

James Anderson’s fellow England seamer Stuart Broad’s Test career is no mean achievement by any means. Anderson and Broad have been terrific against all teams and especially against India. It is their performance that will decide whether England will win the Test match or not. In the ongoing series against the Kiwis, Anderson has picked 9 wickets so far while Broad has six.

Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah did not have the best IPL season in 2022. He struggled at the start and ended the season with 15 wickets. He has been rested from the squad for the ongoing series against South Africa. He will be the most important bowler for India in the Test match. He had already taken 18 wickets before the fifth Test match was postponed.

Mohammed Shami

Shami took 11 wickets in three matches before the fifth Test was postponed. A few months down the line, he has fresh off an IPL title win with Gujarat Titans. Knowing that he will be key in England, the BCCI has decided to rest him for the SouthAfrica series to get him charged up for the important final Test match. Shami and Bumrah have been India’s most dependable bowlers in Test matches, especially overseas.

Ravichandran Ashwin

The veteran Indian spinner along with Moeen Ali will be the two spinners to watch out for in the Test match. Ashwin is almost unplayable in Indian conditions. He is the second-highest wicket-taker in the format for India. Moeen Ali’s face-off against Virat Kohli will be an interesting one. Ali has dismissed him several times across formats in international cricket. He said that he will be interested in playing for England if current head coach Brendon McCullum asks him to.
