India’s Backup Pacers Face Crucial Test In Duleep Trophy Without Bumrah, Shami & Siraj
The Rohit Sharma: This month, India will return to red-ball action with the Duleep Trophy in Bengaluru and Anantapur. The Rohit Sharma-led side will then mark the start of their home international season with five Tests on home soil - two against Bangladesh and three against New Zealand.
However, the biggest challenge they face in their quest for entering their third straight World Test Championship final is holding on to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, during their upcoming trip to Australia. Unsurprisingly, all eyes will be on India’s fast bowlers, who have played a significant role in the historic back-to-back series victories in Australia.
The lack of depth in India’s fast-bowling reserves has become a talking point with the Australia tour less than 100 days away. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, no other Indian player has emerged as a dependable fourth or even fifth fast bowler in the past few years.
