The fast bowlers almost 70% of the wickets taken
The T20 World Cup has been a thrilling experience for fans as they watch talented bowlers like Bumrah & Co deliver from the iconic Marshall, Garner, Ambrose, and Roberts End. If Bumrah doesn't get you, Rabada, Archer, or Starc surely will. Back in the days of Caribbean pace bowlers, the mere sight of their names on the scoreboard would send shivers down the spines of batsmen. Though their era has come to an end, their legacy lives on through the raw power of fast bowling in this World Cup.
Fast bowlers have been dominating this tournament, accounting for almost 70% of the wickets taken. Exceptional talents like Lockie Ferguson have achieved remarkable milestones, while pacers have proved to be the most reliable and efficient bowlers. Each game is a spectacle, with the audience eagerly awaiting the impressive performances of these bowlers as batsmen face genuine trepidation.
Witnessing a truly quick fast bowler at their physical peak is a thrilling experience, reminiscent of the West Indies phalanx in the 70s and 80s. Bumrah has been a standout performer, with his impressive stats and match-winning performances driving India's quest for a trophy.
From Rabada and Nortje to Archer and Wood, the fast bowlers have showcased their skills with pace, accuracy, and variations. Whether it's swing, seam, or sheer speed, these bowlers have proven their worth in this tournament. Even left-armers like Arshdeep and Farooqi have thrived with their angles, discipline, and smarts.
The festival of fast bowlers has been a thrilling spectacle, with the exit of Pakistan, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka leaving the competition poorer. As Bumrah and his fellow pacers continue to shine, the tournament promises even more excitement. It's a fitting tribute to see pacers dominating in the land of the most fearsome quicks, with just their names on the scoreboard enough to spook batsmen.
