Bishop also added that India did not become a successful fast bowling nation overnight and that the foundation was laid by the likes of Zaheer Khan and Kapil Dev.
The commentator also stated that he did not expect the fast bowlers from India to give teams like South Africa, England, Australia and West Indies a taste of their own medicines when the Virat Kohli-led side toured the aforementioned nations in the recent past.
However, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma have been leading the pace revolution in India and the tri sans Bumrah even overshadowed the spinners at home in the recent rubbers against South Africa and Bangladesh.
Ian Bishop told ESPNCricinfo,
He further added,
Bishop refused to go into comparisons, and urged the Indian pace attack to not take on too much pressure about what was being said outside, and instead asked them to focus on the task in hand.
Over the past couple of seasons, the Indian pace bowlers have certainly carved a niche for themselves in the cricketing circuit, a fact embodied by the praise they received from Ian Bishop. And, they would hope to continue in the same vein, thereby enabling India to give a better account of themselves at home and more importantly, on the road.
