India Hailed as Having the 'Best Quartet of Bowlers' in T20 World Cup
India is heading into the T20 World Cup 2026 with what many analysts are calling the best bowling quartet in the tournament. The attack, led by the world-class Jasprit Bumrah, features a formidable mix of pace and spin depth, providing captain Suryakumar Yadav with multiple match-winning options.
The core of the attack includes the pace duo of Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, complemented by the mystery spin of Varun Chakaravarthy. Furthermore, the all-round capabilities of Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel add significant balance and depth, ensuring the team is dangerous across all phases of the innings. Even with Kuldeep Yadav potentially waiting for his chance, the current lineup has been praised for its ability to execute plans and walk the talk on the field.
Bumrah's recent performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, where he delivered a magnificent spell of 2/18 while defending a modest total, underscores the quality of this unit. This collective strength positions the defending champions as a formidable force as they aim to become the first team to lift the T20 World Cup trophy three times.
