    World Cup: Who will feature in XI- Bhuvneshwar or Shami?

    With the ICC World Cup 2019 fast approaching, India are looking to get their ideal Playing XI set before the tournament. Although most of the team looks stacked, there is a doubt that who between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami would make it to the Playing XI. With both the pacers enjoying quality form, we analyze who stands the best chance in England.

    Bhuvneshwar vs Shami: The latest story

    Bhuvneshwar's last series was in New Zealand last month, where he claimed seven wickets at an average of 24.42 and an economy of 5.00. As for Shami, he had a better record than Bhuvi, claiming nine wickets at an average of 15.33 and an economy of 4.75. Notably, he became the fastest Indian to claim 100 ODI wickets. Shami is currently playing against Australia.

    Bhuvi vs Shami in ODIs

    While Bhuvi has more number of ODIs to his name, having played over 100 matches, he has claimed 114 wickets at an average of 35.91 and an economy of 4.98. As for Shami, he has a better record, claiming 110 wickets in just 61 matches at an average of 25.83 and an economy of 5.47. Shami enjoys an edge over Bhuvi in the format.

    Bhuvi vs Shami in List A

    Shami is once again the King in List A, having claimed 167 wickets at an average of 24.87 and an economy of 5.37. On the other hand, Bhuvi has more wickets, with 175 scalps at an average of 31.25, and has an economy rate of 4.79. In terms of average, Bhuvi has been outsmarted by Shami, but he still has something to fight for.

    Both have a decent ODI performance in England

    Both the men have played ODIs in England, but it is Bhuvi who has more experience. Having played 15 matches in England, he has claimed 18 wickets at an average of 28.72. He has an economy of 4.47. As for Shami, he has played just four matches, claiming eight wickets at an average of 19 and an economy of 4.67.

    Who is suited best according to playing conditions in England?

    England is mostly suited for seam bowlers, owing to its overcast conditions, with moisture on the pitch. Both Bhuvneshwar and Shami have the tendency to swing the ball and conditions would suit them both. Judging by the seam, Shami tends to move the ball more than Bhuvi. However, with experience on Bhuvi's side, he has a fair idea of how things work in England.

    Team combination would matter a lot for both

    Although both these men are perfectly suited to play World Cup, the combination for India would matter a lot on deciding their fate. If India decide to go in with three pacers, both make it to the Playing XI. However, if India decide to go in with two spinners, Bumrah is likely to retain his spot, leaving the spot open for either, mostly Shami.
