5 Bowlers who shone for India in Tests this year
In a year that has seen the Indian cricket team reach new heights in the Test cricket circuit, no area has seen more progress than the Indian bowling attack.
While the Indian batting line up has always won matches for the team in the past, it was the bowlers, the pacers in particular, who took the mantle from the batters and took the whole cricket world by storm.
With two senior spinners in Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and a bunch of world-class fast bowlers, the Indian bowling attack is as good as any other bowling attack in the history of Test cricket.
Be it in India, West Indies or Australia, each of them has single-handedly won matches for the National Team at one point or the other over the past 12 months.
Here are the 5 best Indian Bowlers in Test Cricket in 2019
Honourable Mentions: - Ravindra Jadeja
#5 Ravichandran Ashwin
There was a time when Ravichandran Ashwin was easily the best spinner in Test Cricket in any condition, and while his form has taken a dip in recent times and he hasn't been a regular member of the playing XI in overseas fixtures, he is still a force to be reckoned with in home conditions.
Be it against South Africa or Bangladesh, Ashwin rattled all the players with his bowling. As a matter of fact, he was the highest wicket-taker in the all-important test series against the Proteas, finishing with 15 wickets in 3 matches.
He also became the joint-fastest to 250 wickets at home along with the Sri Lankan great Muttiah Muralitharan in the same period.
