India's cricket team is under heavy critique following their lackluster batting display in the Border-Gavaskar series. However, a deeper dive into the team's composition reveals that the real cause for concern lies in the fast bowling department.

With stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli potentially on their way out, the team seems to have a buffer of batting talent waiting in the wings. However, the depleting fast bowling resources could severely impact India's performance during this transitional phase.

The challenge now is to nurture a new crop of fast bowlers who can pick up where legends like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami left off. The upcoming months will be crucial as selectors aim to strike a balance while building a formidable squad for future challenges.
