Asia Cup 2018: 5 reasons why India are primed to win the tournament

#4 An intimidating Bowling Attack

The leader of the pack

Over the past couple of years, India has come a long way when it comes to producing quality pace bowlers and utilizing the existing ones to perfection. India was never known for its pace battery but Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami have reignited the spark.

It was something that the Indian team dearly missed after the 2011 World Cup. This pace attack knows how to use the new ball and they have been very good at it, getting early breakthroughs. In the death overs, Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah have the ability to execute their Yorkers to perfection, thereby leaving no room for any easy runs.

The two spinners, Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have mastered the art of picking up wickets in the middle overs, thus breaking partnerships and really putting a halt to the scoring rates.

Even if they fail, the batsmen have two of the best death bowlers waiting for them.

It will be exciting to see how other teams fare against such a quality bowling line-up.
