India’s heavy reliance on Jasprit Bumrah was a big deal in their 1-3 series loss down under. This guy took a whopping 32 wickets in only five games, which basically means he was the only one really nailing it with the ball. Fans are now hyped for him to rock the boat in the England series coming up. But let’s be real, he can’t be the one-man army. India needs a solid bowling crew to handle the English conditions, especially at Headingley. No Shami for 1st Test vs England: Now, when it comes to selecting the bowlers for that Headingley Test, it’s like playing a game of who’s hot and who’s not. India’s got history there, so we’re expecting some good stuff. But hold your horses on Mohammed Shami. Sure, he’s a big deal, but after crunching through the IPL 2025 and maybe a warm-up match with India A, the dude could use some downtime. Speaking of form, Shami’s been a bit off in the recent IPL games just 6 wickets in 9 matches, with the economy rate looking a bit rough at 11.23. On the flip side, Bumrah’s all good to go. Fully fit and with a killer track record of 205 wickets from 45 Tests, he’s the main man we’re counting on. So, who else should join him in that bowling line-up? It’s not just about picking names; we need a balanced mix to tackle whatever England throws at us. Supporting Bumrah should be these guys, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj. Prasidh totally killed it in Australia, like he got six wickets in just one game! That's crazy! Siraj might've let some runs go, but he still got 20 wickets in five games, so that's pretty good too. And don't forget about Shardul Thakur, he's pretty solid. Thakur's been a beast in England, like he's got 10 wickets in just 4 Tests and even hit two half-century scores with the bat. This totally makes him better than Nitish Reddy, even though Reddy can hit the ball pretty well, he doesn't have Thakur's bowling skills. Jadeja & Washington as Two Spinners: For spin, we got Jadeja and Sundar as the go-to options. They're like the dynamic partners with their batting and bowling. Jadeja's got this excellent record of 27 wickets and over 600 runs in 12 Tests in England, averaging like 29 with the bat, which is pretty decent. And Sundar, he hasn't played there yet, but he's got potential, you know?

They all bring something cool to the table, whether it's bowling or batting. Sundar has hit like a ton of bricks and scored 468 runs with an average of 42 in just 9 big Test games, and he's also snatched up 25 wickets like a boss. So, if R Ashwin can't make it, Sundar's totally got his back. For the upcoming Headingley Test, India should totally go with Bumrah, Shardul, Siraj, Prasidh, Sundar, and Jadeja to rock the bowling department. It'd be sick to see them all together on the field!
