Bowling coach Bharat Arun attributed India’s success on the recent tour of Australia to fearlessness and honesty. In a media interaction, the former India bowler, said: “We formed the five-bowler [strategy] three years ago. On most occasions, we play with five bowlers. To bowl out the opposition with just four bowlers outside India demands a lot. It is a huge, huge task. [Ravi, the head coach] Shastri and skipper Virat Kohli have been very firm on playing five bowlers.”
