India will surely come down with the best pacers. Bumrah, Ishant and Siraj will be the obvious choices and the way Ashwin is batting, I think probable XI would have Axar, Ashwin and 3 pacers.
If Umesh Yadav is 100% fit to bowl then he's going to play ahead of Siraj for sure.

For the third match I would prefer Umesh along with Jasprit and Ishant. Siraj looks like an overhyped player for me and I believe that he is in the squad only because of nepotism. If it was based purely on merit, then there were at least 2-3 other pace bowlers out there who had a better chance of getting selected. Kohli obviously is going to favor Saini and Siraj, since they are RCB players.
After Australia tour, i think he earned his place in the squad. Why are we forgetting that he only came in the team after Ishant-Bumrah-Shami-Yadav got injured and he performed well for the team.
He comes from very humble background so don't know what nepotism you are talking about? He spent considerable time with India A squad that's why he was picked for the Australia tour. If you are talking about franchise favoritism then yeah it does exist for right or wrong reasons.
