'In sport, you are allowed to fail' - Bharat Arun backs young Indian pacers amid recent criticism

Bharat Arun, the former India bowling coach and current bowling coach of Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2026, has strongly defended India's young pace unit against recent criticism. The makeshift Indian bowling attack without Jasprit Bumrah struggled on flat pitches against an in-form, explosive West Indies batting unit led by Shai Hope. Apart from Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh, the pace unit lacked experience across the white-ball series, prompting observers to describe the bowling as toothless.
