Melbourne [Australia], July 4 (ANI): Former Australia skipper Ian Chappell has said that the Indian side led by Virat Kohli has now joined the ranks of pace-bowling proficient teams.
Even though India lost the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand, Chappell praised India for creating a solid pace-bowling arsenal comprising of Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj. In recent years India has joined the ranks of pace-bowling proficient teams. As a consequence, they have enjoyed success in Australia, reached the final of the WTC, and now have an even-money chance of beating England on their home turf. Good pace bowling definitely has its advantages, Chappell wrote in his column for ESPNCricinfo.
