India sure does love spinners but India also love Bumrah, Shami & Siraj as well.

the love does not extend to creating conditions(pitches) to be fair to their playing style though....... Its a case of loving pace bowlers but bestowing the goodies on the spinners. Some love.

General expectation of public is pacer who is accurate, can swing like crazy in England, bounce the hell out of batters in SA/Aus and then reverse in subcontinent while maintaining an excellent economy...and not to forget he must be an all format all phase bowler.

RCB Bowling Review IPL 2023

A top heavy batting, negligible middle order and sub par bowling prevented RCB from going to playoffs. Apart from Siraj, no other bowler impressed for RCB and reliance of trundlers like Harshal ,Vyshak and Parnell proved too costly at the end.


M Siraj The leader of the attack for RCB and singlehandly provided some depth to RCB bowling. It was a pleasure to see Siraj growth as a T20 Bowler- swing, seam, yorker, bouncer and slower ball, he showed complete range.
14 Matches, 19 Wkts, 7.50 Eco

Harshal A one trick pony trundler who become undroppable even after mediocre performance one after other. His over reliance on cutters, knuckle and slow ball was ruthlessly exposed and he let down RCB badly despite getting all 14 games.
14 Matches, 14 Wkts, 9.65 Eco

V Vyshak Another slow trundler and another disappointment of RCB. He had no business to play 7 games for RCB when similar trundler like Harshal was a permanent fixture in XI.
7 Matches, 9 Wickets, 10.54 Eco

Wayne Parnell filled in for 7 matches when Hazelwood, Topley and Willey were not available due to injuries. A decent campaign but only a supporting role at best.
7 Matches, 9 Wickets, 9.37 Eco

 

Hazelwood  played just 3 games before getting injured while Reece Topley couldn't survive injury after just 1 game.
David Willey bowled economically in 4 games but never got consistent run.
Akashdeep A rookie was tried for 2 games but discarded in favor of a trundler (Vyshek)


RCB had decent overseas spin option in  Hasranaga and Bracewell but both faltered in middle overs.
Hasranga  should have played all 14 games but indifferent form and lack of wickets led him to be dropped- 8 matches, 9 wickets
Bracewell too got only 5 games and did an economical job - 5 matches, 6 wickets
Karn Sharma An IPL veteran was recalled and played for 7 games. He was expensive in middle overs with two good game - 7 matches, 10 wickets

Rajasthan Royals Bowling Review IPL 2023

Its still a mystery as how RR missed the playoffs. They played a settled team, got in winning positions in most of their matches but still won just 7/14 games. Lack of consistent runs from butler and Samson was one of the reason but also a safety first approach in trusting defensive bowlers like Sandeep, Holder and Ashwin was another reason. There was no X-factor bowler in RR ( apart from boult with new ball) and teams figured out how to handle their spin threat.


Trent Boult A constant threat with new ball but still had an average season. Not enough wickets.
10 Matches, 13 Wkts, 8.21 Eco

Sandeep Sharma Yet another IPL veteran trundler who was recalled from hibernation and killed any chance of new promising bowler taking second fast bowler spot. As always he was not a threat to any team- just a defensive and calculative trundler whos ticked to his strength but without any major impact on the game. 
12 Matches, 10 Wkts, 8.60 Eco

Jason Holder A major flop for RR. He was expected to lead the middle orders but was ruthlessly exposed in the era of impact sub.
8 Matches, 4 Wickets, 9.96 Eco
 

Kuldeep Sen  was tried for 2 expensive games before getting discarded. But he was mostly injured right throughout the season.
Kuldip Yadav A rookie left arm trundler was also given 2 games but was destroyed and dropped.
K M Asif  was also tested for 4 games  but without any bite in his bowling . Discarded soon after.
N Saini was a forgotten figure in the entire season but got 2 games in the end and picked up few wickets in one of the game.


RR spin trioka was their x-factor in bowling - Chahal, Ashwin and Zampa are all proven internationals and they did control most of the games for RR in middle overs.
Chahal  has a blockbuster IPL season yet again.- 14 matches, 21 wickets
Ashwin did what he do best- Economical, defensive bowling - 13 matches, 14 wickets
Zampa Got only 6 games but still left an impact whenever he played - 6 matches, 8 wickets

And what is the general expectation of the spinner? Bowl on doctored pitches with SG balls and....?

Bowl in right areas on spin friendly wickets, where pitch mostly does the job..and then keep things right overseas.

 

Being a spinner is obviously an advantage in India, not only because most of the tracks help them, but even our coaches and captains understand how to plan with spinners.

 

Ganguly once said, "it's easiest to captain in India..just give one end to Kumble and other to Bhajji and they will take care of everything. It's overseas where you have to really put your thoughts behind each and every pacer, that's where real captaincy is tested".

Lucknow Super Giants Bowling Review IPL 2023

LSG overachieved in IPL 2023. A team that has full of average T20 players ( Rahul, Hooda, Krunal, Badoni, Gowtham, Avesh, Mankad ) reached playoff. Stonis, Pooran, Wood and Mayers won them sufficient games and some luck assisted by tacky Lucknow pitches enabled LSG to sneak into the playoff and then deservingly eliminated in a humiliating loss in the eliminator.

Coming back to pace bowling,
Mark Wood lit up the IPL early on and them mysteriously disappeared ( 4 matches, 11 wickets.)
Yash Thakur ( 9 matches, 13 wickets ) and Naveen Ul Haq ( 8 matches, 11 wickets ) were good supporting bowlers throughout but not match winners.
Avesh Khan, as usual, mediocre and expensive and rightfully dropped at later stages. ( 9 Matches, 8 Wickets, 9.75 Economy)
Yudhvir Singh ( 3 matches, 3 wickets ) didn't get enough opportunities despite showing promise.
Mohsin Khan ( 5 matches, 3 wickets ) played on past reputation and did won them one game in death but was mostly slow and harmless.
J Unadkat was destined to play bulk of matches but was injured after 3 poor games ( 3 matches, 0 wickets)

Spinners disappointed big time despite playing bulk of the matches at helpful conditions at home.
Ravi Bishnoi ( 15 matches, 16 wickets, 7.74 Eco) was safe &  economical but not a game changer.
Krunal Pandya ( 15 matches, 9 wickets, 7.45 Eco) made good use of tired pitches to be a good defensive bowler but didn't pick up enough wickets.
Amit Mishra (  7 matches, 7 wickets, 7.84 Eco ), the IPL 40 year old veteran, did put in decent performance on helpful pitches but not trusted enough.
K Gowtham ( 7 matches, 3 wickets, 7.37 Eco) failed to take wickets and was ineffective.

LSG should have trusted Yudhvir more...3 games and in none of them he actually finished his quota. He is tall, quick and bowls a heavy ball plus can bat as well.

 

They wasted so many games on Avesh, all with negative output at the end.

Half fit Mohsin lacked penetration...  That final over defence which was fine blinded GG & LSG TM that he can replicate last year.  Barely bowled in 140's or banged the ball with effort.  Was just going through the motions...  They really went with reputation rather than output.

On paper, this attack looks extremely weak for MI.
No big overseas names, couple of rookies and an IPL veteran with a babyface.

But still, they are in playoff and in contention for IPL final.
:adore:




 

 

A bad day is always round the corner for such an attack.
And that day came today in an all important knockout game.

Jordan      0/56(4)
Madhwal   1/52(4) 
Chawla      1/45(3)

3/233 (20 overs)
