Predicting India's playing XI in the World Test Championship (WTC) final
The biggest positive for the Indian side in the last 3 and half months has been Rishabh Pant’s form with the willow.
10. Jasprit Bumrah
His unconventional action can unsettle even the best batsmen in the world. In his short Test career that has lasted just 19 Test matches, Jasprit Bumrah has already taken 83 wickets at an average of 22.11. He has also taken five 5 wicket hauls in white flannels as well.
The right arm pacer did not have the best returns in the Test series against England at home. In the 2 Test matches that he played, Bumrah picked up just 4 wickets, and his strike rate too, was 72.00.
But, one look at Bumrah’s performances in England will help us understand how valuable he is in English conditions. In the 3 Tests that he has played on England soil, Bumrah has scalped 14 wickets, and has taken them at an average of 25.93. With the ball nipping around in England, Bumrah will definitely make life uncomfortable for the Black Caps in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC).
