Is there any excuse for our fast bowlers not adding semblance of batting skills?

Only Thakur and Chahar can bat . Both are average bowlers. 

 

Kuldeep can hold a bat, but he can't hit. 

 

Siraj and Shami can slog a few, but have no batting technique.

 

Even oldies like Piyush Chawla and Mishra could bat. 

 

Remaining Indian bowlers cannot bat to save their life. And the situation is getting g worse as the current crop is among the worst in batting.

 

India will never win anything as long as their bowlers cannot bat to save their life. They lost most of the major tournaments over the last decade  because of a lack of depth in batting. 

 

Every team has batting depth till 9 or 10.

 

Even Afghanistan has Rashid Khan who can slog and power hit. 

 

India must have the worst tail among cricketing powerhouses.

chahar is very good in t20

Shardul is good enough just need to be used smartly as bowler

These guys need to work on their batswing & timing.  No excuse for guys like Bumrah who are well built but can't swing their bats.  Timing is also crucial.  Most of Cummins strokes were well timed...  And his batswing was awesome as well.

 

They need to practice on these sorta things.

 Chahar is only good when there is swing. 

 

On batting friendly tracks he'll get taken apart. Like the final over today. If KKR had constructed a proper batting order for the situation, he wouldn't have had such figures. 

 

Thakur is a very limited bowler. Handy as a lower order batsmen . 

 

I sae Nagarkoti today, total lack of match awareness and brainless batting. 

 

Rahul Chahar didn't do anything noteworthy in the chances he got to bat. Like yesterday. 

 

Jayant Yadav can bat.

They dont have bat-swing. And also no willingness to improve at all. Most of the guys take it seriously in situation of crisis like when settled batsman is there at other end, we need to pull a draw or something etc. Otherwise they dont take batting seriously.

That's how they dont improve at all. They need to bat as well in nets just like Australian bowlers do as shown in The Test where Lyon is batting & taking advice from Ponting. There are few ones who can slog but as someone mentioned they hardly show any match awareness.

and IPL has never been played on batting surfaces . He has done well for almost 3 season now for CSK u think he never played on such surfaces. Also what proper batting construction these are same rana n tripathi was doing decent till now

heard such crap before....even sandeep who is slower has had guys like gayle, kohli, rohit as his bunny and trouble de kock, sky, mayank big time in ipl....

Didnt someone like prasidh n cummins travel today all over that to against a CSK lineup 

 

Swing is big skill in t20

Most of them can barely field as well. Embarrassing that none can even slog a few runs, if cant do it in T20s when are you going to do it? 

 

Frankly should not get selected if cannot hold a bat. If you want the big bucks then add more strings to your bow and improve, trundling in for 4 overs does not cut it.
