India’s T20 team of the decade

#4 Bowlers (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah)

The wrist spinners have been pivotal to India's success in T20I cricket

India’s winning percentage in T20I cricket went up significantly when they started playing two wrist spinners in Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. Both Kuldeep and Chahal bowl attacking lengths in the middle overs and get regular wickets to push the opposition on the backfoot.

Kuldeep averages a wicket every 11 balls in T20I cricket, while the strike rate for Chahal is 16. When they bowl together in the middle overs, there is no respite for the batsmen at all.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have easily been one of India’s greatest seam bowling pairs in white-ball cricket. While Bhuvneshwar swings the ball upfront, Bumrah hits the deck hard.

Both of them possess the capability to not only break the game open for India with early wickets but to seal the game too with pinpoint yorkers in the death. Apart from being among India’s premier wicket-takers, they don’t go for a lot of runs either. While Bumrah’s economy rate in T20I cricket is 6.71, Bhuvneshwar goes at a rate of just 7.04 runs per over.
