The Indian fast bowling arsenal has gone from strength to strength over the last few years. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have given skipper Virat Kohli the firepower to succeed in all conditions.

The consistency of India’s seam bowling attack has helped them win Test matches in England, Australia, and South Africa.

Ian Bishop, who was briefly part of golden age of West Indies pacers, believes that Indian cricket is witnessing a new age when it comes to fast bowling.

Ian Bishop represented West Indies in 43 Tests and 84 ODIs in a 9-year career marred by injuries, and picked up 161 Test and 118 ODI wickets.

For someone who knows about managing workloads, Ian Bishop harped on giving Jasprit Bumrah enough breaks to rejuvenate his body.

In the last four years, Jasprit Bumrah has already turned out in 14 Tests, 64 ODIs and 50 T20s for India.
