Both pacers Shardul and Prasidh conceded a lot of runs against South Africa and failed to sustain the pressure created by the duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj in the opening spell.
After India’s crushing defeat, Shastri said, ‘India’s bowling attack lacked experience. There are two of them who are very experienced – Bumrah and Siraj – but they miss Shami a lot.

He continued, ‘Shardul Thakur is not a kid, but a fourth seamer. You need the right third seamer and that makes a big difference overseas.
Apart from Shardul and the famous Krishna, the only fast bowler option left in the Indian team is Mukesh Kumar. India has already moved on from senior bowlers like Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav who were once part of India’s formidable bowling attack.

A very interesting name was suggested by Mark Nichols, who was present at this discussion with Ravi Shastri. Who is Arshdeep Singh? Before anyone debates this name further Shastri raises a very valid point. Arshdeep Singh took 5 wickets in Johannesburg, 4 wickets in Paarl and he also brings left-arm variety, but is he ready for Test cricket? Shastri doesn’t think so yet, but has advised Arshdeep to play the Ranji Trophy and as many first-class matches as possible.
