3 bowlers whose test career may be in danger because of Akash Deep: Akashdeep, who has shown his bowling prowess for a long time while playing for Bengal in domestic cricket, entered Team India during the Test series against England earlier this year and also made his debut. Akashdeep had taken 3 wickets in his debut test and after that it seemed that maybe when the key bowlers would return, he would not get a chance. However, the delay in Mohammed Shami's return became an opportunity for him and he was also selected for the Test series against Bangladesh. The right-arm fast bowler led his team to success at important junctures in the series and took a total of 5 wickets. Apart from this, he also showed in batting that he can play aggressively when needed.

The way Akashdeep has performed, many fans are also advising him to replace Mohammed Siraj along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, there is no threat to Siraj right now but there are three bowlers for whom alarm bells have rung and Akashdeep can act as a hindrance for his Test career. In this article we are going to mention those 3 fast bowlers.

3. Famous Krishna

Prasidh Krishna, a tall right-arm fast bowler, was considered a good option for the Indian Test team and he also got a chance to debut on the South Africa tour. However, he was not able to perform much and was away from the field due to injury at the beginning of the year. There is always a question mark on Prasidh's fitness. For this reason, Akashdeep's entry may hinder his return to the Indian Test team.

2. Akashdeep can also give tough competition to Shardul Thakur

Mumbai's Shardul Thakur has played all three formats for India. Shardul has made good contributions with ball and bat many times for India in Tests on foreign soil. However, Shardul's performance in recent times has not been that special. Akashdeep seems to be a more attacking option than Shardul. For this reason, Akashdeep can become a big threat for Shardul also.

1. Mukesh Kumar

Fast bowler Mukesh Kumar had made his debut for India in all three formats last year itself, but in recent times he is not a part of the team in any format. He was also not selected for the Test series against Bangladesh. The selectors gave Akashdeep a chance in place of Mukesh due to his good performance in the Duleep Trophy and this bowler capitalized on it with both hands. In such a situation, it cannot be easy for Mukesh to make a place in the Indian Test team.
