Chennai, India: Indian cricket fans are traditionally obsessed with batsmen but star pacemen, including yorker king Jasprit Bumrah, were finally bringing overdue recognition to the side's bowlers, coach Gautam Gambhir said Wednesday.
Gambhir took over from Rahul Dravid in July and will oversee his first Test for India in a two-match series against Bangladesh in Chennai from Thursday.
The 42-year-old former opener praised India's world-class bowlers for making a difference to the set-up.
"It has not happened many times in India where we have started talking about the bowler now. It has always been about batters, batters, batters. India at one stage was a batting-obsessed nation," Gambhir told reporters.
"Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world in all three formats," he said.
