Top ten fast test bowlers of India

India has been struggling to produce quality fast bowlers. They have produced some good bowlers here and there but have always lacked the real pace up front. They have had bowlers like Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad who performed well when they were in form. However, on dead pitches and difficult conditions, they have failed to perform as others would. They normally have a better medium pace and spin attack.

The top Indian fast bowlers in the Test cricket would definitely include few from the current generation. Players like Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan have performed really well over the years. Irfan has been phenomenal on swinging pitches. His incoming delivery has created problems for various top order batsmen around the world. Here are the top ten Test fast-bowlers from India.

• Kapil Dev
• Javagal Srinath
• Zaheer Khan
• Ajit Agarkar
• Venkatesh Prasad
• Irfan Pathan
• Manoj Prabhakar
• Ashish Nehra
• Madan Lal
• Karsan Ghavri
