The bowling lineup is more settled and has decent International experience. Ravi Bishnoi to take up the role of lead spinner and get some crucial gametime under his belt. The pace attack should have experienced campaigners Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep's form hasn't been the best lately but he brings in the left-arm threat. Mukesh specialises with his yorkers at the death and Prasidh as the middle over enforcer. Avesh Khan, unfortunately might miss out but he is likely to get an opportunity later in the series.
