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.

 

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)

Lol. I know he won't be picked for India. But i like this guy's attitude. Very calm, collected. No show off. over attitude.

 

 

 

He has done the hard yards, so he knows now how tough it is to make a comeback.

 

Mohit anyway was always a good T20 bowler due to his variations and he is one of the few bowlers who get reverse swing in T20 as well.

 

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a potent stock ball which means he can't bowl upfront..and don't have good height which can help him to be used as a middle overs enforcer. Selecting someone only for the death bowling skills and variations is always a bad idea which has backfired us countless times. Harshal Patel is a prime and fresh example of that.

Yes exactly Mohit can be a good T20 bowler in a team that has variety in bowling.

 

-Shami, Pandya upfront

-Rashid, Noor as quality spinners

-Josua little 140k middle over enforcer

- And then Mohit with his variations.

 

Put him in a team with average bowling attack and he is most likely not make that much of an impression.

Mohit on those dodgy Caribbean pitches & slowish USA venues could be a horses for courses selection.  Still feel we should see him in few T20s down the line.  Superior version of Harshal for sure.

Mumbai Indians Bowling Review IPL 2023

MI rode on batting masterclass ( mostly from Sky, Tilak & Green) to somehow finished 3rd in IPL 2023. Remarkable achievement considering they lost Bumrah & Archer due to injuries, didn't have any renowned spinners and tried rookies right through the season. Madhwal & Chawla carried the bowling while Beherendoff was decent upfront. Overall, a good campaign for MI despite lack of resources.

Jason Behrendroff took the mantle of lead overseas fast bowler and gradually improved his performances. ( 12 matches, 14 wickets, 9.21 Eco)
Akash Madhwal  After trying many rookies, MI found the perfect one in Madhwal. He was a revelation and impressed everyone with his variations. Also bowled an unreal spell in the eliminator - 5/5 ( 8 matches, 14 wickets, 8.58 Eco)
Cameron Green, As an allrounder, Green gave Mumbai few overs to fill up. Nothing spectacular, just decent.  ( 16 Matches, 6 Wickets, 9.50 Economy)

Jofra Archer ( 5 matches, 2 wickets ) , Riley Meredith ( 5 matches, 7 wickets )  and Chris Jordan ( 6 matches, 3 wickets) were super expensive (economy over 10), predictable and ineffective.
Arjun Tendulakr ( 4 matches, 3 wickets ) was a nepotistic pick and was found out to be mediocre. Arshad Khan , another rookie, was tried out for 6 games and had an economy of 13.41. 

Spinners didn't set the stage on fire. Chawla used his experience to singlehandly save MI bowling campaign.
Piyush Chawala ( 16 matches, 22 wickets, 8.11 Eco) The veteran legspinner spearheaded MI campaign and exceeded expectation to become top wicket taker.
Kumar Kartikeya ( 8 matches, 5 wickets, 8.73 Eco) was entrusted to bowl tidy left arm spin but was disappointing. Didn't grab his opportunity.
Hritik Shokeen (  8 matches, 3 wickets, 9.84 Eco ), another rookie was tried out but was fared worse than even Kartikeya.
