Former Australian bowler Glenn McGrath is currently in the city as part of his regular visits to the MRF Pace Foundation which he heads. The pace bowling legend spoke on the upcoming World Cup, the quality of Indian pace bowlers and more. Excerpts:

Were you surprised at how well the Indian fast bowlers performed in the Test series in Australia?

I wasn’t surprised at all. They are a quality lot and they were exceptional, no doubt about that. Ishant Sharma hadn’t done well in Australia after his first tour but he really bounced back. Bumrah was exceptional.

I think they bowled well as a unit. They bowled well to left-handers, they had pace, control and consistency.

Is there any area in the Indian pace bowling that you feel is an area of concern?
