Gurnoor may not play, GT has too many pacers.

Ishant, Siraj, Prasidh are there...then they have Arshad, Sushant, Ashok too.

Sushant may get to play,has been instrumental for Jharkhand

It all depends on Nehra ji.

Will he be able to push back Siraj, Prasidh and his chaddi buddy Ishant.

I asked chatgpt to evaluate these four 150kph bowlers, their skillset and their chance to represent India.
Below were the answers.
==========================================================================================================================
Evaluating these four pacers as we head into IPL 2026, the focus has shifted from just raw speed to sustained impact and fitness. While all four can breach the 145–150 kmph mark, their trajectories have diverged significantly due to injuries and domestic form.

1. Mayank Yadav (LSG)

  • Past Performance: He took the world by storm in IPL 2024, winning two Player of the Match awards in his first two games and clocking 156.7 kmph. However, he has since struggled with recurring back and side strain injuries, missing major parts of 2025.

  • Skill Set: Skiddy, express pace with a naturally high release point that generates steep bounce on a "hard" length.

  • 2026 Outlook: High risk, high reward. If he has successfully remodeled his action to reduce back stress, he is a "generational" talent.

  • India Cap: Already capped (2024). To be a consistent regular, he needs to prove his body can handle a full 14-match season.

2. Ashok Sharma (GT)

  • Past Performance: Emerging from the Rajasthan domestic circuit, Ashok has become a consistent wicket-taker. He notably finished as a top performer in recent domestic T20 and List A seasons (e.g., a 5-wicket haul in the 2025 Vijay Hazare Trophy).

  • Skill Set: A "hit-the-deck" bowler who has added a sharp yorker and a deceptive slower ball to his 145+ kmph arsenal. He is currently more "match-ready" in terms of volume of overs.

  • 2026 Outlook: Likely to have a breakout season with Gujarat Titans. He provides the control that express pacers often lack.

  • India Cap: Most likely debutant. Given his domestic form and fitness, he is the frontrunner to get his first senior India cap this year.

3. Umran Malik (KKR)

  • Past Performance: After a stellar 2022 (22 wickets), Umran's career stalled due to high economy rates and a back injury that ruled him out of IPL 2025. He has recently returned to domestic cricket with Jammu & Kashmir.

  • Skill Set: Pure, unadulterated speed. He is the only Indian who can consistently hit 155+ kmph. Under Bharat Arun at KKR, he is reportedly working on "seam presentation" rather than just "effort pace."

  • 2026 Outlook: This is a "make or break" season. Moving to KKR gives him a fresh start.

  • India Cap: Recalibration needed. He has 18 international caps but hasn't played for India since July 2023. A prolific IPL 2026 could see him return for the T20 World Cup cycle.

4. Kartik Tyagi (KKR)

  • Past Performance: Known for his heroic final over defending 4 runs in 2021, Tyagi has been hampered by bench time at SRH and GT. He was acquired by KKR for 2026 to bolster their Indian core.

  • Skill Set: The most "classical" fast bowler of the four. He can swing the new ball and possesses a high-quality yorker.

  • 2026 Outlook: With Harshit Rana's workload being managed, Tyagi should finally get a consistent run of games.

  • India Cap: Outside chance. He is often in the "shadow" group (India A/Net bowler). He needs a 15+ wicket season to break into the main squad.


The Verdict: Who makes the biggest impact?

Rank Player Opportunity Factor Prediction
1 Ashok Sharma 9/10 Most likely to get an India cap. His domestic consistency makes him the "safest" bet for selectors.
2 Mayank Yadav 10/10 (if fit) Highest Impact. If he plays 10+ games, he will be India's primary weapon for the next ICC event.
3 Umran Malik 7/10 Comeback King. Expect him to be used as a middle-overs enforcer for KKR.
4 Kartik Tyagi 6/10 Squad Depth. Likely to be a vital "impact sub" or secondary pacer.

Umran is bowling well, he is getting some movement off the pitch. Beating the batters.
Pace doesn't seems much...maybe at 135-140 range, he has got a belly and even the runup is a bit slower, not the same dash which he used to do earlier.
Not sure if that just a precautionary measure and more focus on line and length.

these practice games bowler do not go full tilt, avoid bouncers and yorkers<-- avoid injury to players, fielders do not dive.

its about measured pace line length and variation bowling

Umran struggled with variations, though he bowled some seam up deliveries which moved away from the batters. So has definitely worked in that aspect.
Pace, I believe is a question mark. Tyagi was looking visually faster than him. Umran looks more comfortable with the length deliveries, yorkers and back of length he isn't looking comfortable. He was used only in MO and one last over in death, don't think KKR is looking at him with new ball.

Vaibhav Arora was bowling yorkers and some good outswings. Seems he is working on his death bowlin skills as well.

Tyagi has to still work a lot more, he is still bowling full tosses and wide deliveries in between some jaffas. He had added slower ones so that a positive but his radar go off.
Though he bowled 1 over in pp where he leaked 15 runs, 1 in MO and 2 in death...so it seems he will be bowling only in MO and death overs as that's where he has extra protection for his loose cannons.

Can not really tell much based on these practice game, bowlers do not bowl full pace, avoid hitting batters or bowling near to bodyline. thats why you may hear or see reports that Player-A hit 80 runs in 40 balls or something like that 230 was scored and 230 was chased down too.

 

Umran played few games this season lets see how he goes, pace not sure where he is in that regards..

 

Tyagi hardly played anything this season too , he should do something this season else chapter will be close. Teams may not even pick him as he hardly plays domestic and then in IPL he just sits on bench.  

 

Next Odi wc is in SA and T20i Wc is in Nz+Aus good chance for faster bowler to showcase the talent and come in some sort of reckonings

Don't think IPL will give that sorta pitches, specially KKR.
They'll rely heavily on spinners and Eden Garden will be spinner paradise.

Think edens have been good pace good bounce wkt for some time now, days of spinning track is gone now. 

 

For selection to Ind side for a bowler from IPL the criteria should be simple if bowler can crank-up the pace , whats the response after getting hit and what are wkt taking balls and the quality of wkt.
