The bowling attack features Gurnoor Brar, who is the quickest bowler in the setup. He has started his international career on an impressive note with 11 wickets from 6 ODIs. Kuldeep Yadav is expected to be the specialist spin bowler in the line-up, and this is his chance to show the world why he is rated so highly by experts and fans. Mohammed Siraj spearheads the pace attack in Jasprit Bumrah's absence, shouldering the responsibility of leading India's fast-bowling unit. Prasidh Krishna completes the bowling lineup, bringing 50 wickets from 28 ODI games to the squad and adding depth to the pace attack.
