3 Indian Bowlers Who Can Be The Highest Wicket Takers In ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will head into the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 starting later this month and will aim to win their first title since the inaugural triumph under MS Dhoni back in 2007. After a disappointing showing in the T20I World Cup 2021 where India failed to reach the semifinals, the Rohit Sharma-led team will look for a much better showing down under in Australia.

The venue of the 2022 T20I World Cup tournament is Australia. The Men in Blue will play their opening match of the upcoming T20I World Cup 2022 on October 23 against Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground. India is part of group 2 in the tournament with teams like Pakistan, South Africa, and Bangladesh in their pool.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will now shoulder the responsibility of leading the bowling attack in the 2022 T20 World Cup in the absence of injured Jasprit Bumrah. He is lethal with the new bowl as he can swing the bowl both ways, creating problems for the batters at the top.

He is India’s top wicket-taker in this format this year. However, his death bowling is a concern, but these four warm-up games before the marquee clash will help him execute these skills much better.

He picked 1 wicket in 2 games against Australia at an average of 91.0 and an economy of 13.0. He was a little costly in the series. However, he has shown good form this year, winning the player of the series award multiple times.

He took 2 wickets averaging 20.5 bowling 6 overs in the two warm-up games against Western Australia XI. He picked 2/20 in 3 overs against Australia in a warm-up game. He may be the highest wicket-taker in the 2022 T20 World Cup.

After missing out on last year’s 2021 T20I World Cup, Yuzvendra Chahal has been included in this year’s 2022 T20I World Cup. He has repeatedly proved his worth for India during the middle overs. He has already taken 21 wickets at an economy of 7.60 this year.

In his previous series against Australia, the right-arm spinner grabbed 2 wickets in 3 games at an average of 38.0 and an economy of 9.12. He is the top spin bowler for India so far, having taken the joint most wickets alongside Bhuvneshwar Kumar for India in T20Is-85 scalps in 69 T20Is.

He played the first warm-up game against Western Australia XI where he picked 2 scalps conceding only 15 runs and averaged a mere 7.5 at an economy of 3.8. He picked 1/28 in 3 overs in the warm-up game against Australia. He may be the highest wicket-taker in the 2022 T20 World Cup.

The left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has executed a spectacular performance in his short T20I career so far. In the previous T20I series against South Africa, the left-arm pacer picked 5 wickets in 2 games at an average of 18.80 and an economy of 11.75. He didn’t feature in the series against Australia.

The Punjab bowler, who made his international debut in the T20I against England this year, has played 13 T20I matches and scalped 19 wickets so far averaging 19.79. He was the highest wicket-taker in the warm-up games against Western Australia XI with 4 scalps at an average of only 7.75. Arshdeep Singh picked 1/34 in the warm-up game against the Aussies. He may be the highest wicket-taker in the 2022 T20 World Cup based on his form.
