NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has heaped praise on India\u2019s bowling attack after their comprehensive 280-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test in Chennai. India’s pacers, led by Jasprit Bumrah<\/a> (4\/50), Mohammed Siraj<\/a> (2\/30), and Akash Deep (2\/19), outclassed Bangladesh\u2019s batting lineup, dismissing them for a meager 149 in the first innings.
Bumrah\u2019s four-wicket haul and Akash Deep’s early breakthroughs, combined with Siraj’s consistency, left Bangladesh reeling.The dominant performance has drawn comparisons from Basit, who likened India\u2019s current pace attack to Pakistan\u2019s legendary fast-bowling trio of Wasim Akram<\/a>, Shoaib Akhtar<\/a>, and Waqar Younis<\/a>.
“The Indian bowling unit is so impactful that they are on the level with pacers Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, and Waqar Younis. Right now, Mohammed Shami is not even playing,” Basit remarked on his YouTube channel.Basit also expressed excitement about India\u2019s emerging pace talent, particularly 22-year-old Mayank Yadav. The young speedster impressed during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), clocking the fastest delivery of the season at 156.7 kph for Lucknow Super Giants. Basit believes Mayank\u2019s pace could be a game-changer in India\u2019s upcoming Test assignments, specifically against Australia.<\/p>\n

“Mayank Yadav’s ball is very dangerous. His bouncer is accurate. I wish to see him play a Test match in Australia,” Basit said.
With India\u2019s established pacers performing brilliantly, all eyes will be on how the selectors integrate budding talents like Mayank Yadav into the squad for future challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
