Top 5 ODI teams with best pace attacks ahead of 2019 Cricket World Cup

2. India

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The Indian ODI seam attack is perhaps one of their best ever they had for a long time. The Indian attack is well rounded with a plethora of quality pacers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar can make the ball swing like a banana and will be India’s best bet in English conditions. Jasprit Bumrah has been outstanding in ODI cricket chipping in with wickets upfront and bowling brilliantly at the death overs. Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah have formed a deadly pace duo which has held Indian cricket in good stead.

Speedster Umesh Yadav is the mean machine who can hurl at ball at menacing speed to knock off a couple of batsmen. Meanwhile Mohammad Shami can be quite handy in England as he makes the ball seam around consistently.

Allrounder Hardik Pandya can be used as the third seamer. Pandya bowls his medium pacers at a brisk pace and chips in with wickets in the middle overs. Meanwhile the likes of Shardul Thakur, Barinder Sran and Siddharth Kaul shall make a strong case for selection.
