India's pace bowling lineup has come under intense scrutiny following significant challenges during their T20I series against the West Indies.

The absence of senior fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has noticeably compounded the team's struggles in the bowling department.

Young pacers Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, and Prince Yadav are currently fighting to find their footing and consistency at the international level.

During the recent matches, the pace attack leaked runs at an alarming rate of 11.46 runs per over while conceding 13 wides and 18 extras overall.

Fast-bowling coach Morne Morkel has openly discussed the mental strain currently affecting the players within the squad.

Morkel also highlighted the severe difficulties that lie ahead as the team prepares for their upcoming tour of New Zealand.
