5 things from India's 2011 World Cup triumph that Virat Kohli can turn to for inspiration

#4: World class bowling unit

India’s bowling department is looking formidable at the moment. Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are going to remain the front-line seamers in the pace bowling unit, and both of them are doing extremely well.

In English conditions, India is likely to play three specialist seamers in the line-up, and Umesh Yadav can prove to be an effective option. Amongst the spinners, the combination of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal has worked wonders.

Moreover, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin can always come in handy if the front-line wrist spinners pick up an injury.

Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel managed the pace bowling unit in the 2011 World Cup. While Nehra and Zaheer were amongst the wickets, Munaf Patel succeeded in maintaining a tight economy rate.

In the spin department, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Piyush Chawla and Yusuf Pathan took care of the middle overs and earned some crucial wickets. A lot of credit goes to MS Dhoni for marshaling his bowling resources with so much precision.

Kohli doesn't have to look far for inspiration with his bowling attack. He would try to get as much out of India's current bowling resources as Dhoni did in 2011.
