- Onus on Ishant Sharma to lead the bowling attack:
With a jaw dropping 22 wickets in just 3 games in West Indies with a fabulous bowling average of 16.86, it will be Ishant’s duty to lead India’s pace battery. Sharma will be accompanied by Umesh Yadav and one out of Bhuvneshwar Kumar or Mohammed Shami in the pace bowling department. The three pacers can make the most out of the conditions as the swing will be in the air during the first session. With experience in his arsenal, the stage is set for Ishant to productively lead India’s pacers by example with his own staggering performances.
