Key Points

India's current pace attack is one of the best in the world, and a pacer like Mohammed Shami knows exactly how to make the most of rhythm, TOI reported..

On Thursday, Shami not only bagged his third five-for in 40 days, all in winning causes, but also became the highest wicket-taker for India in World Cups (45), surpassing Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan (44 wickets)..

During his post-match presentation speech, where he was given the player of the match award, Shami described how India's bowling has helped in producing desired results for Team India with its huge impact on opponents...

Indian batter Shreyas Iyer, who hit some scintillating shots to score 82 that helped Team India put 357 against Sri Lanka, asserted that he is relieved that he doesn't have to face Bumrah, Shami and Siraj..

This is probably the best pace bowling attack in the world at the moment, and has given a great opportunity to captain Rohit Sharma to bolster Team India's chances to win this World Cup..
