England all-rounder Ravi Bopara, who last played for his national side in 2015, has deemed the current Indian bowling line-up the best he has witnessed.

“India played rather well and it wasn’t a 4-1 series; it was much closer. And I was really impressed by India’s pace bowlers. They were brilliant; the best of Indian seamers that I have seen in the 27 years that I have been following cricket. And Bhuvneshwar Kumar didn’t even play,” Bopara was quoted as saying to Sportstarlive.

After playing with a Bhuvneshwar Kumar-less line-up in the Tests in England, India brushed off the 4-1 series loss with a title-win in the Asia Cup.
