The Indian team has always been gifted with great batsmen but not too many teams of the past had four or five fast bowlers who can hunt in pairs and can run through the opposition. Speaking to NDTV, former India great VVS Laxman said, " Indian team always had great batsmen and even this Indian team has got wonderful, talented, gifted batsmen who are match-winners and can win the matches on their own. But for the first time, I have seen... where you have got four or five quality fast bowlers who hunt in pairs and even in the first two warm-up games against New Zealand and Bangladesh, to bowl out both the opposition teams in that manner...They were ruthless."
