ICC World Test Championship: A look at the performance of Indian bowlers

Team India is set to lock horns with New Zealand in the ICC World Test Championship final, starting June 18. Once again, the Indians will bank on the fast bowlers, who have been pivotal in the championship cycle. Picking the right combination of seamers and spinners will be the key for skipper Kohli. We analyze the performance of Indian bowlers in the WTC.

He also has the most wickets for India, having taken 67 scalps from 13 Tests at a phenomenal average of 20.88. His best match haul (9/207) in this period came against England (1st Test, 2021). He topped the wickets chart in the series (32 wickets at 14.72).

During the third Test in the England series, Ashwin became only the fourth Indian to take 400 wickets in Test cricket. Overall, he became the the second-fastest (77) to do so after Muttiah Muralitharan (72). Ashwin is also the second player have recorded 400 wickets and five or more centuries after Kapil Dev (eight centuries and 434 wickets).
