60 Wickets in 6 World Cup Matches. With getting Zimbabwe all out for a total of 287 in the last group match of the ongoing 2015 Cricket World Cup, Indian bowling, which was counted among the “weak” line-ups when the vent began, continues its incredible run.
While the Indian fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma bagged three wickets each, Ravichandran Ashwin managed one.
There were just two teams who managed to get all the 10 wickets in their five World Cup group matches. After New Zealand managed just seven scalps in their last league game, India is the only side to bowl out all its opponents.
India now holds the record of 60 wickets in six World Cup matches along with South Africa, who achieved this feat in the edition of 2011.
Such a change in India's new ball attack. The bowlers have been excellent but some credit due to the bowling coach Bharat Arun, cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle tweeted.
Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman had praises for Indian pacers Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami. “Both Shami and Umesh continue to impress.They are consistently swinging the ball and at a good pace-perfect recipe to pick wickets,” he tweeted.
