As the cricket world prepares for the much-awaited T20 World Cup 2024, India will be hoping to get its best fast bowling talents in top form ahead of the tournament. While Mohammed Shami is injured and will not be a part of the team, Jasprit Bumrah is a certainty as he is one of the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment across all formats. However, the remaining fast bowling spots in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 are up for grabs and here we take a look at the contenders who are competing for the fast bowling positions.

Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has been one of the star bowlers in IPL 2024, showcasing his ability to swing the ball while maintaining remarkable line and length. The Punjab Kings fast bowler has nine wickets to his name in IPL 2024 and has shown the ability to take wickets at regular intervals. He has also taken 62 wickets in 44 international matches for the Men in Blue and while Arshdeep has shown himself to be a legitimate wicket-taking option for India in T20 cricket, his habit of giving away runs in the death overs has recently There is a big issue.

Mohammad Siraj

Mohammed Siraj has not been in good form for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024 and his chances of making it to India’s T20 World Cup squad are not very good. He has taken four wickets in IPL 2024 with an economy rate of 10.41, which is not worth reading. Although his T20I numbers are not the worst for India, he has taken 12 wickets at an average of 27.83, but Siraj’s tendency to score runs in the death overs and his current form does not bode well for his selection chances.

Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan has been in great form for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024 and has demonstrated his pace and ability to extract sharp bounce from the pitch. His aggressive bowling style and ability to take early wickets has made him a force to be reckoned with in the powerplay overs. Avesh has taken seven wickets in seven IPL matches this season and also has a good T20I record with 19 wickets in 20 matches. If Avesh continues to be economical and take wickets at crucial junctures in IPL 2024, he has an outside chance of making India’s T20 World Cup squad.

Mukesh Kumar

Mukesh Kumar, another fast bowler with an outside chance of making it to India’s T20 World Cup squad, might not have been considered for India T20 World Cup selection a month ago, but his performance in IPL 2024 has certainly Have brought them on the radar. Mukesh has taken eight wickets in four IPL matches this season and the right-arm medium pacer has also taken 12 wickets in 14 matches for India. Mukesh’s performances in IPL 2024 have helped Delhi Capitals find some form recently and if he continues to deliver strong performances for DC, the 30-year-old will be among India’s fast bowlers at the T20 World Cup in 2024. Can be one.

Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar is another pace option for India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. He has taken 31 wickets for India in T20Is at an average of 24.09 and an economy of 8.30. However, due to his lack of consistency it is unlikely that he will feature in the Men in Blue squad. Deepak’s main rival Arshdeep is a death over specialist and has more international experience than him. Arshdeep also has the edge as a left arm fast bowler. Chahar can make his place in the race for selection only if he has a very successful IPL 2024 season. Currently, he has taken four wickets in four matches of IPL 2024, which is insufficient for him to progress in the selection list.
