Nissar, Amar and Ladha Ramji (harshly treated)... Jilani played in 1936.

C. R. Rangachari and Phadkar.

Desai - Lone warrior. Unless you feel like including Surendra Nath and Surti.

Madan Lal, Solkar, Abid Ali, Karsan Ghavri and one Kapil Dev. TA Saker was wasted.

There was also Salgaonkar. Yet again harshly treated.

And then came Manoj Prabhakar and Chetan Sharma.

A few bowlers went by the wayside like Vivek Razdan, Sanjeev Sharma, Bharat Arun, Rashid Patel, Salil Ankola, Banarjee and more more.
Atul Wassan too.

And then came India's fastest bowler, Srinath. Rapid... 157 ks his fastest. But was a kind of a lone warrior and had a tendency to bowl short in certain conditions.

Prasad was good for one year in Tests.
Johnson was sharp but raw. Ganesh was picked and soon discarded.

Kuruvilla and Mhambrey didn't last long. Agarkar was good in patches.

Zaheer, Irfan, Balaji, Munaf, RP, Sree, Nehra and more... all had their moments. But India never seemed to have a settled pace attack
In that sense, the current pace attack, alongside the kind of depth on show, is easily India's best pace attack. By about 1000 miles.

As Ishant is a part of this attack, I didn't include him in the previous tweet.
