In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Bishop said that the foundation of India's "another level" fast bowling unit was laid by the likes of seam bowling great Kapil Dev and built on by current captain Virat Kohli, who believes in the attack.
"Now it's been built on with a captain who likes fast bowlers, who believes in them. But also the fact that you've found a generational talent in Jasprit Bumrah. Generational because he plays all formats of the game very well. And (Mohammad) Shami has taken his game to another level. Ishant (Sharma) has also gone up another level," he added.
Bishop, who played 43 Tests for the West Indies, further said he couldn't have predicted that India's fast bowlers would come to the Caribbean and do to the West Indians what they did to others so many decades ago.
India pacers took 33 of the 40 wickets that fell during India's 2-0 whitewash of the West Indies in their own backyard.
The cricketer-turned-commentator, however, refused to compare the current Indian pace battery to that of the fearsome West Indians of the past.
"Well, they have been performing that well that the comparisons are going to come. I would want to stay away from it, because I don't know how you measure it," Bishop said.
"When people talk about (Michael) Holding and (Joel) Garner and (Malcolm) Marshall and (Colin) Croft and (Andy) Roberts -- who bowled together for so many years -- how do you compare with that?
The trio of Shami, Ishant and Umesh recently helped India whitewash South Africa and Bangladesh, overshadowing spinners at home and maintain their supremacy at the top of the team rankings.
