Top 10 bowlers to watch out for in the T20 World Cup 2024

“Batters win you matches, bowlers win you tournaments.” It is a very old saying in cricket and has been proven right time and again. Bowling impactful spells and taking wickets are the most crucial things to win a cricket match, and the top 10 bowlers who can do these two things best are:

Jasprit Bumrah (India)

The current best bowler in world cricket, Jasprit Bumrah, is at the peak of his career right now and can dismiss any batter in world cricket. He is the top bowler to watch out for in the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup in 2024.

Kuldeep Yadav (India)

Another Indian bowler who makes this list is spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep has worked on his game a lot in the past few years and is currently among the top spinners in world cricket.

Pat Cummins (Australia)

Australia’s test and ODI captain, Pat Cummins, is the third player on this list. Cummins is not someone who takes a lot of wickets in T20s but has the ability to bowl impactful spells through bowling consistent dot balls.

Australian mentality at display again :

Interviewer- your top 4 teams for world cup?
Pat Cummins- Definitely Australia, other 3 you can pick.
Interviewer- which 3 do you want ?
Pat Cummins- Don’t care, you can pick any of them. 🏏🔥 pic.twitter.com/Q0DISByNKG

Mark Wood (England)

England’s express pace bowler, Mark Wood, is the next player to watch out for in the forthcoming T20 World Cup. Wood bowls at excellent lines and lengths at a sensational speed and can be a threat to the batters.

Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)

Hasaranga, who was the highest wicket-taker in the 2022 T20 World Cup, will be captaining Sri Lanka in this edition and will be their ace bowler. Hasaranga would be looking to improve his tally of 15 wickets this time around.

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Rabada is another pace bowler who we need to keep an eye on in the forthcoming T20 World Cup. He has been in decent form in the IPL 2024 as well.

Trent Boult (New Zealand)

There is hardly a bowler who bowls better than Trent Boult in the powerplay. He can be very dangerous with the new ball in swinging conditions, and hence he is a bowler to watch out for.

Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)

Rashid Khan’s recent form in T20 cricket has not been anywhere near his best, as he has struggled to perform. But he is a champion player, and in a tournament such as the World Cup, expect him to be at his absolute best, leading the Afghanistan side.

Naseem Shah (Pakistan)

Naseem Shah is back to playing cricket after an injury and is a very talented bowler. Naseem bowls at a very good pace and can bowl at any point during a cricket match.

Bas de Leede (Netherlands)

Bas de Leede, who took 13 wickets in 8 matches in the T20 World Cup 2022, is another bowler to watch out for in this edition of the tournament.
