Rahul Dravid pays biggest tribute to current Indian pace attack, calls it the 'best ever'

The Indian pacers have been lethal in their display of fast bowling and have wreaked havoc in the last two years. Earlier, when it came to home Test series, it was the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who used to bamboozle the batsmen and win the matches for India. However, now it is the pacers who are dominating the proceedings for India at home in the game's longest format.

While speaking to a leading Indian media daily, Dravid lauded former cricketers like Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan for leading the way with fast bowling in India individually. However, he went on to say that as an overall group, India’s current bowling attack is one of the best that the country had ever produced. Dravid highlighted that the trio’s success would help emerging players take fast bowling more seriously than they previously used to.

He also went on to pick a few pacers who are coming through the ranks according to him. The India U-19 and India A coach suggested that young fast bowlers such as Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi and Ishan Porel had the potential to make their way to the international stage. Dravid's judgement is widely considered to be crucial in determining the future of Indian cricket as he is also the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
