Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels that the current Indian bowling unit is the best he has ever seen and compared it to the team's "Fab 5" batters of early 2000s. The Indian pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, and the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, have mesmerized the opposition batters, playing a big role in their side's nine wins on the trot in World Cup league stage. ‘Monday Is a Shaving Day…’ Michael Vaughan Has a Shave at Roadside Salon in Mumbai, Shares Picture With Barber, Fans React.

"This present bowling unit is the best Indian bowling unit I have ever seen. There have been great (Indian) bowlers over time but as a unit (this is the best)," Hussain said on Star Sports. If Bumrah does not get you, Siraj will. If Siraj does not get you, Shami will. If they don't get you, the two spinners will come in and they will get you out."

Hussain drew parallel of the current Indian five bowlers with the iconic Fab 5 batters of Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, who dominated world cricket in the early years of this millennium.

"There used to be Fab 5 with the bat, this is the Fab 5 with the ball now," said Hussain. Rob Key Backs Matthew Mott To Continue As England White-Ball Coach Following Disappointing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Campaign.
