The Indian bowling attack which consists of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and many others is arguably one of the best pace attacks in the world. The Indian pacers have not only performed well at home but also have been equally lethal on away tours.

Thus, Mohammad Shami feels that now the oppositions have to think twice before preparing pitches to host the Indian team.

The best thing about our bowling unit is that we have 4-5 pacers who can constantly bowl at over 140-145 clicks. You can find 1-2, but to find 4-5 is tough, and we have that. We force the opposition to think what wickets they want to offer us,Shami told India News.

I don't think we've had bowlers who could bowl at this pace earlier, we never had 4-5 of them coming in units. Earlier, teams used to plan easily against us but today they are forced to think otherwise,” he added.

The 30-year-old who is one of the senior members of the side, then talked about the camaraderie in Team India which consists of some great senior pros along with some talented youngsters.

As seniors, our duty is to tell the youngsters to ask us things freely. Overall, the atmosphere and camaraderie between the juniors and seniors is amazing. The thing is, all of us will have to leave the game someday but it is important to think about what we are leaving behind, for the team and the youngsters. It's important to make your country, captain and the board proud,” The pacer said.

India is scheduled to land in the UK on 3 June for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand slated to begin from June 18 followed by a five-match Test series against England.
