India is currently ranked the No.1 team in the world in the shortest format of the game but it does not mean that India does not have problems. In this article, we will see one of India’s problems which is caused by bowlers. so here are the 5 most expensive spells by Indian bowlers in T20 cricket.
#5 Ashish Nehra
Former left-arm fast bowler, Ashish Nehra is at No.5 on our list. Ashish in 2009 in Nagpur against Sri Lanka gave 52 runs in his 4-over spell. Jayasuriya and Sangakkara destroyed Nehra’s line and length and in the end, Nehra got only one wicket as the only positive for him.
#4 Mohammad Siraj
Indian right-arm fast bowler, Mohammad Siraj is at No.4 on our list for his 53 runs spell against New Zealand in 2017 in the 2nd T20I in Rajkot. It was Siraj’s debut match and Guptill and Munro showed no mercy on him. they registered 96 on board and gave Siraj the most expensive spell of his career.
#3 Yusuf Pathan
It was the same match where Ashish Nehra was punished by Sri Lankans but it was not only him as Indian part-time bowler Yusuf Pathan who bowled 4 overs in his spell conceded 54 runs with an economy of 13.5. Sri Lanka made a massive target of 215 to which Indian fell short by 29 runs.
#2 Joginder Sharma
We all remember Joginder Sharma for his heroics in the last over of the T20 world cup 2007 but in that same world cup, India got their second most expensive spell bowled by Joginder Sharma. In a match where Yuvraj Singh smashed 6 sixes to Stuart Board, Joginder Sharma conceded 57 runs in his 4-over spell.
#1 Yuzvendra Chahal
It is almost a shock for every one of us who saw Chahal’s name at the top of this list but that’s what cricket is for you. Yuzvendra Chahal who is India’s all-time highest wicket-taker in T20Is concede 64 unbelievable runs in his 4-over spell against South Africa in the 2nd T20I in Centurion in 2018. Chahal was a nightmare for the proteas in the ODI series but Klassen and Duminy made the wrist spinner pay in that 2nd T20I.
