Genuine Pace in their Ranks

India now have a lethal pace attack

If the pitch does not assist, then a captain looks at his quick bowlers to provide breakthroughs by deploying different strategies which take the pitch out of the equation. Earlier, Indian captains did not have that luxury. India was known to produce swing bowlers who were dangerous when the pitch aided them, but, on a flat track, their skills were neutralized.

The current Indian pacemen, however, provide Virat Kohli with that luxury. India has a group of bowlers that are devastating on a helpful track, and at the same time can provide breakthroughs on an unresponsive track by bowling quick.

Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma have the ability to bowl quick and can also swing the ball upfront. Who can forget Ishant Sharma's spell at Lord's when he resorted to the short ball strategy as the pitch had very little on the final day which led to a massive win for India.
