Who will get the chance among the bowlers?

Talking about bowling, the return of Jasprit Bumrah will give a lot of strength to Team India. He will take charge of the Indian bowling, with whom Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar will be seen playing. At the same time, the responsibility of spin will be handled by all-rounder Akshar Patel, with whom Washington Sundar or Kuldeep Yadav can be seen. If Kuldeep Yadav plays, he will play as India’s main spinner, who will be responsible for controlling the runs in the middle overs. Although the play of Washington Sundar will give India depth in batting, but the absence of Kuldeep may weaken the spin department.
