ADELAIDE: The manner of India’s capitulation in the second Test has left them facing many questions, but the immediate need is to address the balance of the fast-bowling lineup.
With the frontline batters more or less picking themselves, additional pace reinforcements could be uppermost on India’s mind going into the third Test. If it is a typically fast and furious, seaming Gabba surface, Jasprit Bumrah will cover up for some of the others. But what if the surface is flatter? Will it be another case of the team being too reliant on Bumrah, like in Adelaide? Will India then need a stronger third, or even fourth seamer?
