India have been dominant in Test cricket over the last year, and have made an excellent start to the World Test Championship as well. As per the updated points table, they are the leaders by some distance, with 300 points from six games. New Zealand are a distant second, with 60 points from two Tests.

The biggest reason for India’s rise as a Test nation over the past year has been their potent pace attack, which is capable of taking 20 wickets on any surface. Mohammed Shami has reinvented himself, and is among the best fast bowlers in the world today. Jasprit Bumrah has taken to Test cricket like fish to water. All along, Ishant Sharma has used his experience to deliver at vital moments. And, with the resurgence of Umesh Yadav, India’s pace attack has never looked better.
