Men’s ODI WC: This Is The Best Bowling Attack That India Have Ever Had In A World Cup, Says Aakash Chopra
ODI World Cup: After fast-bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj led India’s march into the semi-finals of Men’s ODI World Cup with a crushing 302-run win over Sri Lanka, former opener Aakash Chopra believes this is the best-ever bowling line-up the hosts’ have ever fielded in a 50-over World Cup.
At the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, Bumrah, Shami and Siraj made the new ball talk in such a great manner that Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 55 in 19.4 overs. Bumrah set the tone for a sensational fast-bowling performance to be remembered for ages by trapping Pathum Nissanka lbw on the very first ball of the second innings and had figures of 1-8 in five overs.
Siraj made up for an indifferent time in the tournament by bamboozling the batters with swing and seam to take 3-16 in seven overs. But it was Shami who shined the brightest by taking 5-18 in five overs, making him India's highest wicket-taker in ODI World Cups.
