With Indian team all set to fly to the UK for the 12th edition of ICC World Cup that begins from May 30, India' bowling department is in discussion now. India's batting department that was the source of all discussion especially no. 4 position and Rishabh Pant but bowling line was well sorted with the only question being who sits out.
Jasprit Bumrah is a champion death bowler and captain Virat Kohli has a genuine fast bowler who can swing the ball at top speed in Mohammed Shami, as well as swing maestro Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Mohd Shami believes the strength of India's bowling attack is that they are able to combine both pace and skill.
"In the last 20 or 30 years, if you look back at the history of Indian cricket, it has always been dominated by the batsmen. You cannot really blame the bowlers because the wickets that were prepared in India were also not helpful towards the bowlers. Things have started improving in the last five to seven years and to be honest, it has been a process and not something that has happened overnight. We have been bowling as a unit and that helps," Shami told IANS.
"The best part is that along with variety, we have an attack that can bowl fast. Having skills and pace together is the USP of this side as that somewhere increases the confidence of the attack. To be honest, it is like a dream that has come true and I feel very proud that today people talk about our bowling unit as one of the best -- a thing that wasn't heard much but is now called our strength," he added.
