In the Test series against South Africa, Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian cricketer, thinks that fast bowlers Mukesh Kumar and Prasidh Krishna have an opportunity to step up without Mohammed Shami. Shami was left off the team because he has not fully recovered from an ankle injury.
Against the West Indies, Mukesh Kumar made his Test debut. It was there that he played his one and only Test match. In the encounter, Mukesh had claimed two wickets. Prasidh Krishna hasn’t yet made his test debut at the same time. He has, meanwhile, been competing successfully in domestic competitions. Jaffer made a significant statement on both fast bowlers.
Jaffer told the future of fast bowling
Jaffer posted on X, the previous Twitter, saying that while Prasidh Krishna and Mukesh Kumar have a chance, Shami will be missed against South Africa. He represents the quick bowling of India’s future. South Africa is the best place one could hope to bowl.
India offers a wide range of choices
Let us inform you that the Indian squad has five quick bowlers available. The squad includes Shardul Thakur, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah. In recent years, Bumrah and Siraj have demonstrated their bowling prowess in both ODI and Test cricket. India’s bowling arsenal might feature four fast bowlers, with just one of Ravichandran Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja being a viable option for a spinner.
