10 fast bowlers India should groom for future

The last couple of years have seen a surge in the fast bowling gems India has produced. The need for Indian pace bowlers in the Indian Premier League and former Indian captain Virat Kohli’s love for pace have led to a rise in the talented pacers in the country. The depth of India’s pace arsenal was evident when India conquered Australia in the 2020-21 series.

However, the promising pacers need to be spotted and groomed for the future as the Bumrahs, the Shamis, and the Kumars would not be there forever. Below is the list of ten such promising bowlers India should groom for the future.

10 fast bowlers India should groom for future

1. Mukesh Choudhary

Mukesh Choudhary is a fine left-arm pacer representing Maharashtra at the first-class level. The 26-year-old made his first-class debut in the 2017-18 season in Ranji Trophy against Railways. Since then, he has featured in 13 games for his Ranji side and picked up 33 wickets.

The Rajasthan-born pacer grabbed the limelight when he was selected by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in this year’s IPL auction. Deepak Chahar’s unfortunate injury meant an opportunity for the left-arm pacer. He stuttered in the first few games but gradually picked up steam.

Mukesh might not have the express pace but can trouble the batsman with the swing. He has played in 13 games for CSK and has taken 16 wickets at an economy of 9.32. He has been a handful in the powerplays for the three-time IPL champions and has been a work-in-progress material at the death.
