'Numbers don't lie': Indian Bowlers Trounce Pakistan Domination, Record Better Speed Than PAK Pacers

The Pakistan team, which at one time was feared due to the fast bowling options it possessed have lost the ability to induce fear with the same aspect. If statistics are to be believed, Pakistan bowlers' pace has plummeted to an extent where they can no longer be called a threat. If statistics are to be believed, their pace average in Tests in 2024 is dawdling in the early 130s.

Pakistan's Pace Dwindled, India at No.2

Gone are the days when a contest between arch-rivals India and Pakistan was based on the assertion that it is going to be about India's batting vs Pakistan's bowling. Team India is now miles ahead of Pakistan in both departments. The numbers don't lie and according to it, Indian pacers have beaten Pakistan pacers in pace.

In 2024, the likes of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, and Mohammad Ali, who are all capable of touching the speed of 140+, are in the Pakistan Test squad, yet they have only been able to generate an average of 131.8 kmph. Prominent Indian pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have been able to deliver at better speeds, Indian bowlers' pace average in Tests in 2024 has been 135kmph. India's cumulative is the second-best by any team in the calendar.

Australia, who inhibits bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood have topped the list with 135.7 kmph.

The Indian pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, have ruled the cricketing set-up in every format lately. These pacers have picked up heaps of wickets at the international scene and are the biggest reason why India enters as favourites in every bilateral or multi-nation tournament. The bowlers have glorified India to become the most successful travelling side, showcasing a domination like no other Indian bowling attack has arguably enjoyed ever in history.
