Here are five Indian fast bowlers in contention for places in the 2027 ODI World Cup
Over the last few years, India have put an improved focus on the development of fast bowlers, which has left the side with ample depth in the department. India have a crop of skilled pace bowlers who can make an impact across all conditions, and in the lead-up to the ODI World Cup of 2027 in South Africa, competition for places in the side would be high.
With Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana all-but-guaranteed as fixes in the side, the remaining contingent will be looking to make a mark in the lead-up to the tournament due to securing their places for the marquee event. We take a look at the five most possible contenders out of the available options.
Here are 5 Indian fast bowlers in contention for places in 2027 WC:
5. Prince Yadav
Prince Yadav's stocks have risen in the recent months, starting from a brilliant showing in the IPL where he took 16 wickets for an otherwise-dismal Lucknow Super Giants side. He was soon fast-tracked into the Indian side, making his ODI and T20I debuts in the tour of Ireland and England.
Prince has been an exciting pace-bowling prospect, who can move the ball both ways and bowls at high pace. What sets him apart is his ability to bowl yorkers with pinpoint accuracy, making him a viable option to have as a back-up for Jasprit Bumrah.
