5 Bowlers who can trouble batters in T20 World Cup 2021
1. Varun Chakravarthy:
The Indian newbie “mystery spinner” looks like a player to watch out for, in the tournament. Varun is called so, because of his plenty of variations in his bowling. He can bowl the off-Spin, leg-Break, the carrom ball, the chess ball, and many more up to 9 variations.
Chakravarthy has been in an exemplary form in this season’s IPL with an average economy being lesser than 7. He has played just 3 games in the Indian colors in the T20 format and is yet to make an impact.
He definitely could dominate the batters in the conditions prevailing in UAE but the fitness concerns of the player worry the BCCI and the team.
2. Jasprit Bumrah:
‘Do you need a bowler to bowl in the powerplay? – call Bumrah, do you need a bowler to bowl in the middle overs to break prolonged partnerships? – call Bumrah. Do you need a bowler to bowl in the death and contain runs? – call Bumrah. This bowler must have always been any captain’s favorite bowler.
He has been a bowler on whom a captain can always rely on at any situation. One of the leading wicket takers in the IPL season-2021 is Jasprit Bumrah. He is the spearhead of the Indian bowling line-up. His Yorkers are so effective and his consistency is his strength.
Bumrah has played a total of 49 T20 International matches and has picked up 59 wickets with an extraordinary economy of 6.67. He could certainly be the match-winner for the Indian side by leading the pace attack along with Mohammad Shami
3. Rashid Khan:
Rashid Khan, the player who has taken Afghanistan Cricket to the next level is their player to look out for. There is nothing much to be told about this young leggie, as he is one of the most successful players in the lot. He is the top wicket-taking overseas bowler currently in this IPL season-2021.
Rashid has always been a T20 specialist and has immense experience playing various T20 leagues which makes him the best in the pool. The batters fail most of the time to read his leg break and googly deliveries and the speed of his googly deliveries make him unique.
He has played a total of 51 T20 International games and has a whopping number of 91 wickets with an astonishing economy of 6.22. This young experienced bowler would be really hard for the batters to target.
4. Lockie Ferguson:
The Kiwi right arm fast bowler-Lockie Ferguson has been impressive with his spells for KKR in this phase of IPL at the UAE. He is one of the bowlers who is in a great touch currently and known for his pace and the bounce he offers.
This tall bowler is capable of delivering raw pace and has clever variations in his bowling. He has played just 13 T20I games representing New Zealand with taking 24 wickets and having an average economy of 6.87- which is a fine one for the pace bowlers.
This player could possibly be a match-winner for their side and he is an absolute trump card for Kane Williamson. It will be a thing to see if he recovers from his injury soon and eventually troubles the batters.
5. Anrich Nortje
The South African speedster Anrich Nortje is the last, but not the least contender in this listicle. Nortje is also capable of rendering a consistent express pace of over 150 km/hr. He has bowled really well in the Indian Premier League for Delhi capitals in both the seasons at UAE. It is to be noted that, he holds the record of bowling the fastest delivery in IPL.
His ability to yield dot balls and take wickets at the right time makes this bowler dangerous and his sheer pace always helps him to contain the batters from hitting big shots.
With the combination of Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, and Lungi Ngidi the South African pace attack is one of the best in the tournament. He is a clear-cut nightmare for the batters who feel difficult to handle the pace and for the Yorker he bowls.
