Former India National Cricket Team fielding coach R Sridhar has picked his top three Team India pacers for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, which will be played in October-November in Australia.
Speaking to Cricket.com on India’s possible fast bowling line-up for the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup, Sridhar picked Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as the top three pacers.
“I think we have problem of plenty, isn’t it? Look I’m going to be straight and I’m cutting to the chase. I think our top three fast bowlers would be Bumrah, Shami and Bhuvi.”
When it is the World Cups you need the big boys to go in and play – R Sridhar
“Because, if you have this, you have an absolute banker, banker, banker new-ball bowler and death-over bowler in Bhuvi who is in the best shape in terms of his fitness.”
“And we have Shami, who will come up with the new ball and ask a lot of questions to the best opening batters in the world. So you can bowl Bhuvi and Shami twice and now that Hardik is bowling and Jadeja is an all-rounder, we have the fifth and sixth bowler covered. When it is the World Cups you need the big boys to go in and play and these are the three as far as fast bowling in concerned and backed by another big boy in Hardik,” he added.
