Former captain Kapil Dev says India finally possess a bunch of world class pacers and the team could rely on them besides the spinners.
In recent times, India pacers have strongly aided the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. They have played a key role in the Test team's undefeated run in the last nine series.


Asked about performance of pacers, especially Umesh Yadav, Kapil said, "Your question has made me so happy because today we have started depending on fast bowlers.


There was a time we didn't have any fast bowlers and today we have so many fast bowlers. The people who are sitting out could have played for India any day."

The 1983 World Cup winning skipper however refused to comment on head coach Ravi Shastri's comments that the current team is better than the teams of the past 20 years.
