Prasad recalls bowling with Srinath, says India pacers must work as partners
India's current fast bowling unit comprising of Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami among others, is regarded as one of the best in the world. The trio of Shami, Bumrah, and Ishant have wreaked havoc wherever they have traveled, and it has also led to the Indian team often getting 20 wickets in Test matches, for which captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri have often praised their bowlers. As India travels to England for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, and the following five-match Test series against England, the trio of India pacers are expected to play a key role with the conditions suiting their bowling style. Looking at the stats, Bumrah has picked 14 wickets in 3 Tests in England at an average of 25.92, while Ishant has picked 43 wickets across 12 Test in England at an average of 33.9. Shami, on the other hand, has picked 21 wickets in 8 Tests and has an average of 47.04.
On being asked about the stats, former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad explained that individual records do not matter much and the fast bowlers need to work together as partners. To stress his point, Prasad recalled his pairing with former India seamer Javagal Srinath.
