Foundation of India's current fast-bowling talent laid by likes of Kapil: Ian Bishop

India TV News  

Former West Indies speedster Ian Bishop says the foundation of India's "another level" fast bowling unit was laid by the likes of legendary Kapil Dev and built on by current captain Virat Kohli, who believes in the attack. The 52-year-old Bishop, who took 161 wickets in 43 Tests between 1989 and 1998, said he couldn't have predicted that India's fast bowlers would come to the Caribbean and do to the West Indians what they did to others so many decades ago. Describing India as a "cauldron" and dominant force in world cricket, Bishop said a T20 World Cup triumph does not mean that the West Indies can beat Virat Kohli's men during the limited-overs series beginning on Friday though there's always a hope to do so. He said West Indies' limited overs tour of India will serve as a good preparation for next year's T20 World Cup.
