In general, Indian batting lineups have had trouble, with a few notable exceptions, when facing up against foreign bowlers. Today, India’s bowling attack is seen as a greater danger than it ever has been before. India has produced many world-class batters throughout the years, including Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and many more. Despite having some very good batters, the Indian team has always had difficulties against certain bowlers. According to cricket highlights today, they’ve enjoyed the opportunity to compete with the Indian batting lineup.
