It is concerning that no Indian bowler is ranked among the top ten. Our bowlers are of the highest calibre, including Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav.
There is no specific cause, although there might be one that the Indian bowlers who play T20I didn’t get much opportunity to play more matches, such as some being dropped in one Series and others in the next. This is the reason why the players are unable to play regularly, thus impacting their performance.
