Two pieces of statistics stand out from India's 1-2 series loss to South Africa. Firstly, it was the first time ever that all 120 wickets up for grabs were taken in a three-match Test series. If Bhuvneshwar Kumar swung the ball both ways at will, Mohammed Shami worked up a heady mixture of consistency with pace. If Ishant Sharma was India's lanky, hit-the-length bowler, Jasprit Bumrah provided the unpredictability factor that added the cherry to the cake. High-class can be a term used to describe not just Bumrah, but this Indian pace attack as a whole.
