Cricket News: Three bowlers whose bouncers will be a concern for batters in T20 World Cup
Having a T20I world Cup in Australia means a lot for seamers. The Australian conditions bring the best out of the bowler's skillset, who knows how to capitalise on such conditions
Over the last few years, many players have played in Australia, getting a little experience of the conditions. The extended boundaries of the Australian ground and deadly bouncers will get many wickets during this T20I World Cup. These bowlers, with their strength, will become a danger to the opponent and an asset to their team.
Here are the three seamers with great experience and skills in using bouncers and will be a concern for batters in the tournament.
Mitchell Starc
He is the face of aggression in current active fast bowlers worldwide. His deadly rhythm and action give him enormous power to bowl a fiery yorker or a killing bouncer.
Playing in home conditions, he has always brought the maximum out of the Australian surface. During the last World Cup, he took a total of nine wickets; this time, the intent will be evident as the competition returns to his home country.
Shaheen Shah Afridi
He is the one bowler taking Pakistan's legacy of best seamers in the world forward in the current time. With his laser-precise line and length, the left-arm pacer troubled the top order of almost every team in his initial overs.
The 6 feet 4-inch left-arm bowler loves attacking with bouncers to put batters in a difficult spot. He took seven wickets for his team during the last World Cup, and this time on the Australian pitch, he'll be ready to show the world the kind of talent that is getting prepared in Pakistan.
Jasprit Bumrah
The pace spearhead of the Indian bowling attack is the most potent weapon of Men in Blue. While his yorkers are unbeatable, his unorthodox action makes him unreadable for opponents.
His uncanny ability to hit blockhole grabbed his spot in the World Cup squad in 2016 and, ever since then, has been troubling the batters. In the last world cup, though India couldn't make it to the elimination rounds, he took seven wickets and continued to make the journey of other teams challenging.
He's been hitting deadly bouncers in Australia during test matches to trouble batters. Mastering the Australian conditions, Jasprit Bumrah will be using bouncers as one of the prime weapons apart from yorkers to take wickets.
Batters will have one additional problem to face apart from his yorkers and brilliant off-cutters, i.e. his bouncers.
