Statistically, India has the best bowling attack in the world since Kohli took over. They've conceded 2 fewer runs for every wicket they've taken than any other side. Mighty Aussies have given away 3.5 more runs for every wicket. So why do comms & writers call Aussie attack best?

Wonder why no one asked this question to Australia or New Zealand in 2015. I would also include Pakistan in 2023 who played their last 2 of their last 3 league matches at what would've been their semi-final venue, but they were too mediocre to even make the final four.

Still can't get over that piece of fielding from Jadeja. Boundary line diving/relay catches are easy to appreciate, but what's the degree of difficulty on running in 30 yards to your wrong side, gathering one-handed, and putting in a flat af direct hit on one stump from 40 yards?
