5 reasons why India won the 2018-19 Test series in Australia

#2 Pace trio reign supreme

India's Best Bowling Attack Ever?

How often do you hear Australian captain recognise India’s bowling line-up as the best pace attack in the world? The Pace Trio of I. Sharma, J. Bumrah, and M. Shami tamed the kangaroos with impeccable bowling performances throughout the series. Apart from Bumrah’s brilliance with his unique arm action and pace, Ishant and Shami kept Australian batsmen on their toes with a consistent line, length, and pace without any sign of fatigue.

It did not matter how new or old was the Kookaburra ball, India’s ravaging pace trio continued to assault the Australian batting line-up as it accounted for 50 wickets in the series India. A team cannot win tests unless its bowling line-up can take 20 wickets. India’s mighty pace attack bulldozed through those 20 Australian wickets match after match in this test series.

Let’s put it this way, Australia was literally swung, bounced, and yorked out of the series!
