The start of the 17th season of the world’s biggest cricket league, the Indian Premier League, is scheduled to get underway on March 22. This will start another big season of the tournament, where ten teams will compete to become the best of all. All ten teams have some big names in their batting lineup.
But the teams that have the best bowlers will go long. Bowling is always the most important part if you are looking to win the tournament, especially in the final overs. The team with the best death bowler will surely have an impact. MI and CSK are so successful because they have bowlers like Lasith Malinga and Dwayne Bravo. Here, we will talk about the best death bowler for all ten teams.
Here are the best death bowlers for all teams in the IPL 2024
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a key bowler for Sunrisers Hyderabad for many years. He is a bankable bowler who can bowl up front and in the final overs. But one of his main strengths is his ability to bowl at death. He was India’s main bowler for years in white-ball cricket because of his ability to restrict batters from scoring runs, and it will be similar for SRH in the IPL 2024.
Alzarri Joseph (Royal Challengers Bengaluru)
Alzarri Joseph will be playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2024. He is an excellent bowler and will surely be a key player for RCB in the coming season. However, bowling at Chinnaswamy is certainly very hard for a bowler, but Joseph has done it for West Indies, and his speed makes him a hard bowler to handle.
Trent Boult (Rajasthan Royals)
There are not many who can match the skillset of Trent Boult in the modern era. The left-arm pacer is certainly one of the best in the game because he can come in for a bowl at any stage of the game. One of those stages is in the final overs. He has a pretty smart head on his shoulders, which makes him a really good death bowler.
Arshdeep Singh (Punjab Kings)
Our pick from Punjab Kings will be Arshdeep Singh. Well, PBKS also has Kagiso Rabada, but he might not play all the games. Hence, we pick Arshdeep, who has been doing the job of a death bowler for Team India in the T20 internationals. His yorker and change of pace make him a good bowler in the final overs.
Mohsin Khan (Lucknow Super Giants)
Lucknow Super Giants also have a number of good bowlers, but we will pick Mohsin Khan, who has been doing the job of death bowlers for the franchise for the last couple of seasons. The left-arm pacer is tall, can bowl over 145 km/h consistently, and is pretty smart for an uncapped player. He has taken 17 wickets at an economy rate of 7.06, which indicates his impact.
Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans)
It is very hard for a spinner to bowl in the final overs of a T20 match. But Rashid Khan has some special skills, which make it hard for him to get away even if he is bowling 20th overs. The Afghan superstar will be the biggest strength for GT in the coming season and will be seen in action even in the final overs.
Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals)
Delhi Capitals will have to decide which bowler can bowl in the final overs because they don’t have a specialist in that position. But if it is about picking one bowler, then we will pick Anrich Nortje. The South African pacer is known for his rapid pace and some brilliant yorkers. This combination makes him a difficult bowler to face. He is one of the front-runners among the four overseas slots, so he is likely to play most of the matches.
Mitchell Starc (Kolkata Knight Riders)
Mitchell Starc has returned to the IPL, and he will be playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024. The franchise was signed for a record-breaking price of INR 24.75 crore at the IPL 2024 auction. And the reason was because of the skills he takes with him. Starc is the only bowler on the list who has the experience of winning the WTC, ODI World Cup, and T20 World Cup, and he is very dangerous in the final overs.
Mustafizur Rahman (Chennai Super Kings)
Matheesha Pathirana is injured and will miss the first half of the IPL 2024. That’s why CSK picked Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman. The left-arm pacer is a brilliant death bowler known for bowling some good yorkers, and his changes of pace are very hard to determine. And one thing is sure, under MS Dhoni, he is likely to flourish more in the IPL 2024.
Jasprit Bumrah (Mumbai Indians)
The biggest challenge for any batter facing Mumbai Indians will be scoring runs in the final overs. Because they have the best modern-day bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. The ace Indian pacer needs no introduction; he is best at what he does, and he will be a big hurdle for the opposition batters. But MI does have some other good bowlers in Nuwan Thushara, Luke Wood, and Gerald Coetzee for overseas slots, which makes their bowling line-up the best when it comes to death bowling.
