The Journey Of Indian Bowlers

Mohammad Nissar pioneered this achievement in 1932 during India's first Test. The 1970s-80s golden era saw legends like Chandrasekhar, Bedi, and Kapil Dev add their names. The modern era brought pace bowlers like R.P. Singh, Praveen Kumar, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Ishant Sharma holds the record for best bowling figures by an Indian at Lord's with his devastating 7/74 in 2014. These thirteen bowlers represent different eras and bowling styles—from classical spinners to modern swing bowlers—showcasing India's rich bowling heritage at cricket's most prestigious venue.
