Ravi Shastri praised the bowling unit of Team India in the 2023 World Cup
Former head coach of team India, Ravi Shastri, has heaped praise on the bowling unit of team India in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, calling it the best attack that he’s seen in 50 years.
While speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Shastri said India would probably have to wait for three World Cups if they missed out on the trophy this year. India has already qualified for the semi-finals as the top-placed team in the group stage.
Shastri said, “If they miss out this time, they would probably have to wait another three World Cups before even thinking of trying to win it. The pool of players is such that 7-8 players are at their peak. This could well be their last World Cup. The way they are playing, given the conditions, they have got the team to win it.”
He also said, “It is the best attack that I have seen in 50 years, ever since white-ball cricket started, and it’s all because of the variety. You have Bumrah, who is a freak; you have Shami, who is a master when it comes to the seam position; and then Siraj, who is feisty, can get under your skin and is a slippery character. You also have Jadeja, who is at the peak of his prowess, and Kuldeep, who has improved leaps and bounds.”
