Virat Kohli reveals insider stories about his pace attack

The fast bowlers have registered the world-best strike-rates in 2019 and are also in the list top wicket-takers list in this year. Skipper Virat Kohli has always spoken highly of his pace attack and always run out of words while praising the pace quartet. However, recently, he revealed some funny traits of India’s fast bowlers for the first time.

“I cannot explain to you but you watch any funny movie that comes out in this day and age, compare it with these guys hanging out together, you will laugh more looking at these guys. I mean obviously you have to sensor things a little bit. I mean it is amazing.

“Ishant is the most senior, his legs being pulled around the most. Jassi (Bumrah) is very shy, very composed but amazingly witty. He would say things at the right time. Timing is perfect. Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) is proper UP ka you know, mazaak karne wala (likes to joke around). Shami again, he gets along and Umesh as well. Umesh bhi uski tang kheechta hain, you know,” Kohli told India Today Consulting Editor Boria Majumdar in a candid chat.

The fast bowlers will once again be in action when India play West Indies in the T20Is and ODIs followed by the series against Australia and New Zealand.
