The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar completes the Fab 5 of the Indian pace attack. All these 5 bowlers are match-winners on their days and arguably the best fast bowling unit in the world. Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun is of the opinion that the recent success of the Indian pacers is not merely possible due to hard work but due to the open communication with support staff.
He feels India always boasted of a decent pace bowling attack but lack of communication with support staff didn’t ensure that they had long careers. Bharat Arun told the Times of India in an interview:
Arun, who has been with the Indian team for a long time now, reiterated the fact that the Indian pace battery has been honest with the coaching staff which has helped them manage the workload of the pacers. He also credited Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri for the change in culture.
While Arun was delighted with the current crop of Indian fast bowlers, he gave special mention to Jasprit Bumrah who has been out of action due to a back problem. Arun called him the ‘driving force’ in the transformation of the Indian pace attack. It wasn’t long ago when Bumrah became the 2nd Indian bowler to bag a Test hat-trick.
Bumrah is expected to play a very important role when Indian tours New Zealand in February next year. He has been a sensational performer for the national team and his return to the side will only enhance India’s chances of winning another Test series.
