India’s Pace Attack Depth In T20 Cricket Is Exceptional: Brad Hogg

While speaking on his Youtube channel, former Aussie spinner Brad Hogg said that India’s pace attack depth in T20 cricket is exceptional. He also said that it is tough to induct Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar in the playing XI with the presence of pacers like Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, and Harshal Patel.

“India’s pace attack depth in T20 cricket is exceptional. If I’m picking a team for the T20 WC for India, I’m going to find it hard to put Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar in there with the way Siraj, Avesh Khan, and Harshal Patel have been bowling. They’ve got the best spin depth as well,” Brad Hogg said.

India Tough Team To Beat In T20I World Cup 2022

Brad Hogg also said that India will be a tough team to beat in ICC T20I World Cup 2022, which is slated to take place in October-November later this year.

“Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja, very good quality bowlers, but when under pressure, opposition teams are able to get to them. When Sri Lankans swept Kuldeep, he did not really have a ball to counter that.

“When it is not turning, Jadeja sometimes bowls a little quicker, it gets easier to hit down the ground, so that’s a little area there. India are going to be tough to beat in the T20 World Cup,” Brad Hogg added.
