Virat Kohli lucky to have variety in his bowling attack: Ajit Agarkar

The Indian bowling attack has been the talk of the town. The presence of bowlers who are so different from each other makes it a potent attack that is always threatening to run through the opposition. On the back of some exceptional performances from these pacers, India has been scripting histories abroad.

Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar reserved some high praise for the Indian pacers, terming Virat Kohli a lucky captain to have them.

“India’s fast bowlers have been sensational. Shardul was good in the first Test. He missed out on the second Test. Ishant came in and got important wickets. The good thing about the attack is that the variety that they have. Bumrah is a little different, quite unique because of his action. Siraj can run in all day and he’s got great skills. Ishant provides you something different with his height,” Agarkar said during a media interaction organized by Sony Sports Network.

“Virat Kohli has been lucky that there is variety in the attack, which makes the batsmen’s job a bit more challenging in these conditions,” he added.

On India’s team for the next Test which starts on 25th August, Agarkar felt that there may not be a big deal of change in the final XI.

"Ashwin might be the only change, but I can't imagine why you would change a team after having won a Test match unless you have real problems. As good as Shardul bowled in the first test, he might have to miss out since Ishant bowled well in the second Test," he concluded.
