Team India is just two crucial wins away from clinching the World Cup 2023's title as they are gearing up for the semifinal clash against New Zealand on November 15 after playing their last group match against Netherlands on November 12.
India have a had a fairytale campaign in the ongoing World Cup 2023 as they have recorded eight straight victories in the tournament. They are sitting on top of the standings with 16 points.
Team India has delivered exceptional performances in both batting in bowling. But what really has stood out for the Rohit Sharma's brigade is their star-studded bowling attack. India's lethal bowling line-up consists of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, who have choked even the best batting-line up of the opponent teams. Notably, the deadly trio of Shami, Siraj and Bumrah share a whopping total of 41 wickets among themselves.
But former India skipper Sourav Ganguly doesn't think that India, in the ongoing World Cup 2023, don't have the best ever bowling line-up.
"I can't say this is the best-ever Indian pace attack to date. In the 2003 World Cup, (Ashish) Nehra, Zaheer (Khan), and (Javagal) Srinath also bowled brilliantly," Ganguly told Sports Tak in an exclusive interaction.
But yeah, it's exciting to see Bumrah, Shami and Siraj bowl. It's a big difference when you have Bumrah. There's pressure from both ends as it is always about bowing in pairs. Bumrah makes a massive impact on the other two as well," he added.
India's bowling best came to the fore when Shami was introduced in the India's playing XI after being benched for the first four matches. Shami went on to take two fifer in the next four matches that he played.
Former BCCI president feels that Shami should have been included in India's playing XI a lot earlier.
"Yes, Shami should have played in the XI a lot earlier. Look at the impact he has made," Ganguly concluded.
