Kolkata: Virat Kohli may have brushed aside suggestions that his team are comparable to the dominant West Indies team of the 1970s and 1980s, at the conclusion of the pink ball Test against Bangladesh on Sunday.

But like the then West Indies captain, Clive Lloyd, the India skipper has four fast bowlers, who he could field in a playing XI. Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav have been a handful for India's opponents of late and future foes would shudder to think what kind of a devastating force the Indian pace pack can be once Jasprit Bumrah is back to peak fitness after enduring a stress fracture in his lower back. Bumrah is expected to return for the tour of New Zealand.
