Six years back , when T20 came into existence at highest level ,all cricket pundits declared it to be the graveyard for the bowlers and especially spinners. This also became visible in T20 world cup and later in that year's IPL. Bowlers were thrashed all round the park. On the very 1st match of IPL McCullam went on to score 157 and RCB bowlers were found running for covers all round the Chinnaswmy stadium. Legends like Kapil Dev felt lucky not to play T20.
But in the 2nd IPL only , bowlers made their presence felt which went on to improve season by season . Now in the current sixth season of IPL , bowlers are really on a role. Each of the team doing good have a handful of performing bowlers. Sunrisers Hyderabad is among top two teams on the point table and they are boasting a world class opening bowling attack in the shape of Steyn and Ishant Sharma and quality spinner in the shape of Amit Mishra.
The bowlers have modulated themselves beautifully to adjust to the situation and in this harakiri of cricket and now it is them who are deciding the result. Not only these bowlers are taking quick wickets ,they are doing it quite miserly. On 16 and 17 April ,within two days world seen two hat-trick and tht in T20 cricket, first by Sunil Narine and he was followed by Amit Mishra. Though first went onto for loosing cause but the latter performance was the ultimate decisive three bowls to decide the result and just turned the match upside-down. It was no other than Narine who was the chief reason of success of KKR in the last season.Already we know the lethal Malinga behind the MI success.
Hope ! the perception of young India to change who only considers batsmen as their role model and as a result we are not able to produce quality bowlers .The worse situation is of spinners.Once India boast to be land of spin bowlers,now doesn't have enough of young spinners on whom the Indian cricket can have faith.The attitude need to be and so will everything fall in place.
