Former Pakistan skipper Waqar Younis has identified the key reason behind team India’s success in Test cricket.
India are currently the number one Test team in the world. They lead the ICC Test team rankings and are far ahead when it comes to the points table. They are also the table-toppers of the ICC World Test Championship and have been a dominant force in Test cricket since the inception of the championship.
Virat Kohli has led team India in a great manner and the Men in Blue have won seven out of the nine games they have played in the championship so far.
The seven wins came on a trot and they were unbeaten for the first seven games until the Kiwis broke the deadlock recently.
Waqar Younis Believes India Has An Improved Bowling Attack
“If you see India has really worked hard in this area and they are now producing bowlers regularly who bowl in the 140-plus range,” Waqar said in an interview to the YouTube channel Cricket Baaz.
“In the past it was not like this. But things have changed. (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Mohammed) Shami, Ishant (Sharma) they have taken India to the top. That is why India is doing so well in Test and other formats now,” he further added.
Waqar Younis Impressed With India’s Handling Of Bowlers
He was also impressed with the way India handled its pacers and hailed the approach of the management for looking after the workload of the seamers.
“If you look at their Test side they have more or less a settled combination of pace bowlers for this format but in the white ball formats they keep on changing and experimenting which is good,” he said.
