Who are the most accurate pace bowlers currently in India?

[SecondSlip]

Everyone knows that a fast bowler needs to have 2 things in order to have a successful international career; Pace & Accuracy. 
I want to know who are the most accurate fast bowlers in India currently!  

Calling all members of the "Phast-Gang"

Has to be Bumrah for sure. Then Shami (mostly in odis) and Ishant.

[Mosher]

Bumrah is a freak. Shami and Saini have decent accuracy and pace. So is Prasidh. Warrier bowled around 140 and was pretty accurate in the one match he has played so far in IPL.

Bumrah is at the top obviously. Then probably Shami, Ishant, BK and Saini. 

Chahar doesn't have pace but has accuracy. 

[Rightarmfast]

I don’t watch IPL. But if you were to ask me- 

Bumrah

Shivam Mavi ( based on what I have seen in the past) 

Shami

Ishant

----  Bumrah is by far the most accurate pacer from India.  And across formats.

 

Bhuvi would probably come next.

 

---- Ishant is accurate in test matches only ... that is when he is not attacked.

 

---- Saini is the most accurate among uncapped bowlers who have pace too.

 

---- Shivam Mavi is the most accurate among the recent U19 graduates who have pace.

When you say "accuracy" what do you mean by that. Bowling within the stumps at any lengths? That is fairly easy to do. To execute yorkers at will you have to be really good. On that count only Bhumrah is good. Others often end up bowling full tosses. Sid kaul even with his trundling speed bowled 7 full tosses in a row.

Saini no, he is inexperienced and when put under pressure his accuracy goes for a toss.

Bumrah definitely is, Bhuvi is accurate, Shami is accurate when he is in rhythm. 

Haven't seen much of Mavi and Nagarkoti as they are injured most of the times. Can't judge them by performances against U19 batters. Some poor deliveries might go unpunished at that level.

Bhuvi is the second most accurate. But when he is accurate his pace is not over 90 mph.

They are clearly the 3 best bowlers in the country. No question about that. There was an outside chance for Ishant.

Bowling Yorkers isn't accuracy that is a specific skill. Accuracy is hitting good length around off stump consistently.

You can't judge accuracy based on t20s. Accuracy is all about test cricket or FC cricket. You don't need accuracy in LOIs. LOIs are all about not being predictable. LOIs, accuracy can go for a toss.

Well that too. But in one dayers length ball will disappear when batsmen put their foot down.
