India have one of the best bowling attacks in the world. The likes of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah have done exceptionally well in international cricket. Apart from them, the likes of Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mohammed Siraj are the best possible back-up options.
In a recent interview, former India cricketer Deep Dasgupta asked Shami about the nature of the talks they have with skipper Virat Kohli. Shami revealed an interesting thing Kohli has to face.“All three of us — Ishant (Sharma), (Jasprit) Bumrah, and I want to bowl with a new ball. When we are not able to choose, we approach Virat to decide,” Shami said on ESPNCricinfo’s chat show ‘Cricketetbaazi’.
Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid, the former Indian player, recently lauded Team India’s bowling.
“As a collection of fast bowlers I think this is the best fast bowling attack we have had. We have got great fast bowlers like Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan.
“But as a group and in fact even outside the main group, the likes of Navdeep Saini, Siraj, Shardul Thakur have been doing well at the A-team level. What’s different is that you don’t have to worry about which three bowlers you will put in the park. They are all doing well,” he said.
