In Test cricket, the ascendancy of the Indian pace bowling unit has become increasingly evident in recent years, as demonstrated by the consistent excellence of bowlers like Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. With Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav approaching the twilight of their careers, selectors are turning their attention to the future of fast bowling, and one name gaining prominence is Vidhwath Kaverappa.
In a mere 13 first-class games, Kaverappa has made a remarkable impact, securing 52 wickets at an impressive average of 18.25. At just 24 years old, he stands as a prospective force in the realm of fast bowling. A noteworthy performance for India A could serve as a catapult, propelling him into contention for a spot in the Test team in the times ahead.
