Top 3 Indian bowlers to watch out for in 1st Test against New Zealand

Explore the top three Indian bowlers to watch in the 1st Test against New Zealand. The 1st Test match between India and New Zealand is set to start on October 16 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. After the Bangladesh series, India will now look to whitewash the series against the Kiwis which will book a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025. As the series is important, the players have a huge role in not letting any opportunity pass away. Moreover, New Zealand are a good side with a balanced team. They will only miss Kane Williamson as he is out of the 1st game due to injury. India too has a good team with perfect bowlers. 

Let’s discuss the top three Indian Bowlers to watch out for against New Zealand:

1. Akash Deep

Akash Deep made a huge impact in the Bangladesh series with his wicket-taking skills at crucial moments. He will again play a crucial role against the Kiwis since they haven’t faced him yet. So there are chances of him troubling the batters in the first match. Moreover, he has a decent pace and line and length which will be his strength during the series. 

2. Jasprit Bumrah

India’s one of the best bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah will have to lead the attack. He is also the vice-captain of the team, so the pressure and duties increase for him. Bumrah is a top-notch bowler who can give important breakthroughs in crunch situations. Since New Zealand’s batting attack is quite good, Bumrah will have to play his real game. 

3. Ravichandran Ashwin

India’s current best all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin will come in handy, both with the bat and the ball. He is a classic player who knows how to swing his bat and take wickets. His spin bowling becomes difficult to face in home conditions which is a positive thing for India.
