Highly-rated Indian bowlers cut sorry figure in first Test

By Saurabh Sharma February 24, 2020 • 15:26 PM View: 1230

Kolkata, Feb 24: Skipper Virat Kohli had said before the start of the series that being on top in the World Test Championship table means little unless the team wins away from home. And one thing that has been India's biggest strength in recent times - at home and way -- is the bowling arsenal. But that is exactly where they faltered at Basin Reserve in the first Test against the Kiwis.

Led by Jasprit Bumrah, who is touted as one of the best pacers in world cricket, the Indian bowling attack has the experience of world-class bowlers like Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma. But at Basin Reserve against Kane Williamson's men, the same set of pacers -- barring Ishant -- fell flat on their face and the Kiwi batters made hay.
