LONDON: Ahead of the five-match Test rubber against hosts England, fast bowler Ishant Sharma believes the current Indian pace attack carries the ability to lead the visitors to a series win against the Joe Root-led England.
The 29-year-old right-armer feels that the Virat Kohli-led India currently have a pool of eight to nine fast bowlers, which makes them a complete Test package.
In an interview to the Daily Telegraph, Ishant said: “Everybody used to say that India can’t produce fast bowlers. Now we have probably eight to nine good fast bowlers, anytime who can play Test cricket for India.”Apart from Ishant, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur feature in India’s Test squad pace attack for the five-match series, starting August 1. India have not won a Test series since 2007 when the Rahul Dravid-led side triumphed 1-0 a three-match series. (IANS)
