Irfan Pathan, a former cricketer, expressed his concerns about India’s fast bowling unit as they prepare for the second Test against South Africa at Newlands Cricket Stadium. He highlighted the need for India to build a larger pool of fast bowlers, stating that the backups for key players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj are not yet ready for the big stage. Pathan emphasized the importance of preparing a pool of 7-8 fast bowlers through talent hunts or the Ranji Trophy to avoid being caught off guard in the future. This comes after India’s loss to South Africa in the first Test, where the Indian bowling unit struggled and was unable to contain the host’s batting lineup.
