Team India has emerged as a globally dominant force in the last 15-20 years. Although a lot of its credit goes to the captains leading the team, team India has surely improvised its standards in world cricket.

Today, they stand at par with the best teams in the world including Australia and England and the credit for it goes to the upliftment of standard in batting, bowling, and fielding. India’s batting has been rock solid since the inception of cricket in the country.

However, the one aspect that has helped the Men in Blue grow 0ver the years is the quality in their pace bowling attack. Initially, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra set perfect examples and now the Indian pace battery is one of the most dangerous pace bowling line ups in world cricket.

Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Umesh Yadav have all acted as predators of wickets for team India in the recent past.

All these bowlers are setting great examples for the future stars to follow and with the change in BCCI‘s selection panel, we might witness some more fast bowlers being added to the attack.

Today, we’ll take a look at the top 4 bowlers who could break into the international scene in the coming times for India.

India’s fast bowler in the Under-19 World Cup 2018, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team for a hefty sum of 3.2 crores. However, he did not play the last two seasons due to his injury.

Nagarkoti is known for his speed. He threw the ball at a speed of 149 kph in a match against Papua New Guinea in the Under-19 World Cup. He also bowled above 146 kph against Australia.

Kamlesh is also an explosive batsman. The new selectors will definitely keep an eye on this player and when the time comes, he can be given a chance.

Ankit Rajput is also consistently doing well in domestic cricket. He is the leading fast bowler of the

Uttar Pradesh team. Also, he has a rich experience of playing in the IPL.

Ankit Rajput is playing in the IPL since 2013. In IPL 2018, he also achieved a five-wicket hall while playing for Kings XI Punjab.

Ankit bowls at a great pace and has the ability to swing the ball. This makes him a perfect candidate for team India in the coming time.

If the Bengal team could make it to the final of Ranji Trophy this year, then a huge amount of credit for it goes to Ishaan Porel. He bowled exceptionally well throughout the tournament.

The young bowler was bought by Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) team for the price of 20 lakhs in the IPL 2020 auction. If he performs well in this year’s IPL, then the new selectors can also include him in the Indian team.

In the IPL, Shivam Mavi plays for Kolkata Knight Riders and has impressed everyone with his bowling.

If he consistently bowls well in the coming times, then he can attract the attention of the selectors and play for the Indian team.
