5 Bowlers who should form the Indian bowling attack in the ODIs

5 Bowlers who should form the Indian bowling attack in the ODIs: India has lots of things to worry before they prepare to take the field against the highly confident South Africa in the ODIs. Like in previous situations, the main cause of worry for India would be their bowler’s unproductivity on the 22 yards.

Barring off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, none of the bowlers have managed to create pressure on the strong South Africa batting line-up. India will have to mend all the issues as the situation is going to be tougher for them in the ODIs despite playing in favorable conditions.

The current Indian squad has Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav as their frontline seamers and Axar Patel, R Ashwin and Amit Mishra as the frontline spinners. Stuart Binny and Gurkeerat Singh Maan are the all-rounders in the team.

Indian captain MS Dhoni today said that He won’t prefer pitches with lot of grass cover. So, it would be sensible for them to field five bowlers.

He also said that they were planning a few changes in the side. “We wanted to make a few changes in the side. We wanted to change the batting order. It’s sad that we were not able to play. This is one venue where you really want to play. Don’t want to come here and then not play a game. “Three changes, we were planning to make — Jinks (Ajinkya Rahane) was supposed to open, (Suresh) Raina to bat at No. 3 and (Amit) Mishra and (Stuart) Binny would have played. We wanted to see what really would have been best for us,” he said.

Here are the 5 Bowlers who should form the Indian bowling attack in the ODIs:

1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar clearly struggled to be impactful in the T20I series. However, his ability to swing the ball is quite well known. Experts have pointed out that he has lost his swing since he has put in desperate efforts to increase his bowling speed. However, it’s time for him to stop experimenting and start doing things he is naturally best at- i.e. swinging the ball big. Moving ball creates problems for the best batsmen. Therefore, his opening spell will be very crucial for the rest of the bowling as well. The South Africa openers can be curbed from going berserk if Bhuvi swings it the right way. Bhuvi has taken 53 wickets in the 50 matches at an impressive economy rate of under 5 runs per over.
