Not much in it. Bedi and Chandra considered marginally better I think.

Not an Indian but I have an opinion on them.
Personally I think it's Prasanna > Chandra > Bedi from the limited footage I've seen of them. Not much in it between Prasanna and Chandra in my view but I don't think all that highly of Bedi.

I really liked the kind of flight Bedi bowled with. He sort of put in a nice loop to it and I think he was clever with where he pitched the ball so that the batsmen had to deal with the turn more. He looked flashier than the other two but was slower through the air.
If you saw him only at the point of release, you'd think Chandra bowled pace. He had a real whiplash kind of release (a bit like Tanvir) and bowled it quicker than the other two. He spun it less than the other two but I felt he was quite hard to deal with due to his natural action and speed.
Prasanna was like a combination of the other two. Quicker through the air than Bedi but not as quick as Chandra. He had good flight and bowled nice lines with clever little variations to pick up wickets.

I did not see them play but my dad rated Prasanna very high so for me its always Prasanna, Chandra and Bedi.

Fun draft this one and not the sort of team I would usually pick at all. Batting is pretty great, bowling not going to be as strong as others but tons of options there and really nice contrast of styles from the seamers.
