Siraj, obviously – Ishant Sharma picks the best of India's bowling unit

With the mega blockbuster between India and Pakistan set to grab attention on the coming Saturday, ne of the major talking points of this contest is the difference between the pace batteries of the two sides. India will be hoping to see Jasprit Bumrah in full bloom while Pakistan already put out a statement by decimating the Nepal batting unit in their Asia Cup opener. 

In a talk show called the Home of Heroes, Indian pacer Ishant Sharma ranked the best of India's pace unit.

The lanky fast bowler nominated Mohammed Siraj as India’s best hope, given his recent performances and the kind of momentum that he has generated of late.

Talking about India’s fast bowling options, Ishant said, “Siraj, obviously. Should we add Bumrah or not? It depends on fitness. I think Bumrah will have to play smart. There is no Test series until the World Cup, so he has to just play white-ball cricket. After that, Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, and Umran Malik.”

Only time will show how good will Mohammed Siraj is when India face off against Pakistan, while Bumrah will also be another important name to watch out for given his variegated arsenal.
