Does India have the best ODI bowling lineup of the decade (2010s)?

[Joseph Gomes]

Bumrah, Kuldeep, Shami, Chahal...would all these bowlers would be the best/2nd best bowler for every other ODI team?

Stats for them

Bumrah
Avg - 21.01
Economy - 4.44

Kuldeep
Avg - 20.12
Economy - 4.76

Chahal
Avg - 23.65
Economy - 4.73

Shami
Avg - 25.73
Economy - 5.49

After a traumatizing early to mid 2010s where bowlers got annihilated in ODIs, it's refreshing to see a side that can actually dominating batting lineup on flat pitches.

It is undoubtedly India's best ever ODI bowling unit and comfortably this decade's best.

Need to win a WC to cement it.


What PP and other fans don't seem to understand is that India in ODI cricket is a bowling team.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Overall we now have the best LOI bowling unit.

 

[castortroy]

The best bowling line up in the tournament for sure

Yes, the best bowling unit of the tournament. Couple that with best batting unit and you got yourself a potential winners. Except they don't have buttler factor, so if it comes down to india vs england, buttler may still make England a bit better side by a slight margin

India does not have the best batting unit. It's top 3 or bust. Their middle order is weak and lower order is nonexistant.

Too early to say. But they are still young and will be around for a while. If they can maintain this for a couple of more years , there will be a discussion to be had.

Head

Mitchell/Hasmatulla shahidi/

 

[ex-q-zit]

My top 5 would be:

Warner - Traditionally hasn't been so good against India but with his experience playing in India he is a good bet
Rachin - His technique and runs speak for themselves
Williamson - In good knick and has 2 50s in 2 matches so far
Mitchell - He has played Kuldeep the best in this tournament so far using his feet and playing it straight
Klassen/Rizwan - Klassen if batting 1st and Rizzy if batting second

This thread is more about the bowlers so my pick of the decade would be

Bumrah
Shami
Shaheen
Naseem
Jadeja


I am picking jadeja over kuldeep because he just started performing well from last 2 years before that he wasnt that much effective as he is now.
