With Mohammed Shami not included as he is yet to fully recover from the ankle injury he had suffered in the World Cup last year, here are the pace options India have gone with for the Chennai Test

Jasprit Bumrah remains the leader of the attack and is an obvious pick for Team India

In Shami's absence, Mohammed Siraj, now a senior member of the attack, will be Bumrah's new-ball partner

Among the players retained from the squad that defeated England 4-1 earlier this year is Bengal pacer Akash Deep

The BCCI also decided to give Uttar Pradesh and Royal Challengers Bengaluru left-arm quick Yash Dayal a maiden Test call-up in a move that raised eyebrows
