On India’s bowling attack, Sourav Ganguly says, "I can't say this is the best ever."
The Indian cricket team is having a dreamy run at the ongoing ODI World Cup, as the hosts have clearly dominated the tournament by winning all eight games they have played so far. The Rohit Sharma-led side has clicked in both the batting and bowling departments and registered massive wins against many big teams. One factor that has definitely left a mark on India is their fiery pace attack, which consists of Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah. This trio has proven to be really deadly, as it shares a whopping total of 41 wickets among itself.
As the tournament is now inching closer to the knockout stage, many discussions are going on about India's current bowling attack in their best-ever limited-overs format. However, former India captain Sourav Ganguly has dismissed such an opinion and given an example of India's bowling attack at the 2003 World Cup.
Ganguly said, "I can't say this is the best-ever Indian pace attack to date. In the 2003 World Cup, Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan, and Javagal Srinath also bowled brilliantly.”
He also said, "But yeah, it's exciting to see Bumrah, Shami, and Siraj bowl. It's a big difference when you have Bumrah. There's pressure from both ends, as it is always about bowing in pairs. Bumrah makes a massive impact on the other two as well.”
