Over the last few years, India<\/a><\/strong> have put an improved focus on the development of fast bowlers, which has left the side with ample depth in the department. India have a crop of skilled pace bowlers who can make an impact across all conditions, and in the lead-up to the ODI World Cup of 2027 in South Africa, competition for places in the side would be high.<\/p>\n

With Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana all-but-guaranteed as fixes in the side, the remaining contingent will be looking to make a mark in the lead-up to the tournament due to securing their places for the marquee event. We take a look at the five most possible contenders out of the available options.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 Indian fast bowlers in contention for places in 2027 WC:<\/h2>\n

Prince Yadav<\/a><\/strong>‘s stocks have risen in the recent months, starting from a brilliant showing in the IPL where he took 16 wickets for an otherwise-dismal Lucknow Super Giants side. He was soon fast-tracked into the Indian side, making his ODI and T20I debuts in the tour of Ireland and England.<\/p>\n

Prince has been an exciting pace-bowling prospect, who can move the ball both ways and bowls at high pace. What sets him apart is his ability to bowl yorkers with pinpoint accuracy, making him a viable option to have as a back-up for Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
