Former India bowling coach rejects claims that current pace attack is toothless

Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun said it is unfair to label the current pace attack toothless after India defended 223 in the third T20I against the West Indies. He noted that the bowlers had successfully defended a modest total in the previous match.

Arun said there are enough young bowlers in India who can swing the ball and that it is the responsibility of selectors and the team management to identify them. Captain Shreyas Iyer praised the bowlers for their clarity and decisiveness in defending 223.

India's inability to defend 250-plus totals in earlier matches had raised questions about the depth of the pace attack without Jasprit Bumrah.
