India vs South Africa 2018: 5 takeaways for India from the ODI series

#3 India have an embarrassment of riches in the fast bowling department

The formidable four?

India have historically relied on one pacer and multiple spinners to bail them out in matches. The tide seems to be turning now as India possess arguably two of the best exponents of death bowling, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. They have finally found a decent seam-bowling all-rounder in Hardik Pandya. The back-up options include Shami, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur, who are good enough to get into most international teams themselves.

These bowlers also have the ability to hit the 140 kmph mark on a regular basis. If the pacers can stay injury-free, India'll have numerous options to rotate across the three formats.
