SRT100 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Nehra was very underrated. A very good left arm bowler towards the end of his career for India. IIRC India had two lefties at the same time in the same team. Zaheer and Nehra. raki05, singhvivek141 and ravishingravi 3 Link to comment

He is the poster boy of mediocrity, still he has massive fan following just because he can swing the new ball. Swing bowlers in India are more appreciated than seam or bounce bowlers. raki05, SRT100, Mosher and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Texan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Kapil and Bumrah are our best by far. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment
speedracer Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Chookrah Shami Nehra Zak Soon it will be prasidh Siraj And tyagi Then kuldeep Link to comment
Number Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Although statistically Bumrah will edge others but Zak for me will always be the best. 21 year old debutant in 2000 CT the way he bowled against world beater Aussies. In 2003 WC he was just 23 year old and was still our go to bowler although Nehra and Srinath also bowled well. 2011 WC he was the lone warrior of our pace attack.

Adamant Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Kapil as of now. Bumrah and Siraj will overtake him Link to comment
Kerberos Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Bumrah, Kapil, Srinath, Agarkar in order. One thing observed, Srinath overrated on this forum. Link to comment
zen Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I would put bowlers into two groups where within a group the bowlers are more or less similar. In the order of debut: Group A: Srinath, Zaheer, Shami, Bumrah, & Siraj* Group B: Kapil (for the most part of his career, bowled with a red ball and with no power play), Prasad, Agarkar, Nehra, Pathan, Bhuvi, etc. Edited January 21 by zen ravishingravi 1 Link to comment

MultiB48 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Probably shami,bumrah . big match players would be Zak,prasad,though Zak had failed spectacularly in the 2003 final. Link to comment

Yeah no he lost us the WC final in that first over! If there's a mockumentary on how not to bowl the opening over of a final that's the over which would feature every *ing time Link to comment
Lord Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Kapil Bumrah Zak Shami Srinath that's top 5 in that order Link to comment
