Hand-picked stories you can't miss
England are hosting India in a five-match T20I series, with the first T20I having washed out due to rain. The two teams are coming on the back of significant losses, where the Men in Blue faced a shambolic drubbing against Ireland in a 0-2 whitewash. On the other hand, England were outplayed by the visiting New Zealand side in the three-match Test series.
Both teams possess stunning quality players and depth options in the bowling department, who, despite the increase in intent from batters, can take the games away on their own. Be it debutants looking to make a mark, or experienced names still showing they have got it, these bowlers can cause trouble when they are on their game.
Here are three bowlers to watch out for in the ENG vs IND T20I series:
Axar Patel
England’s predominance of right-handers in their batting lineups makes Axar Patel a threat. The all-rounder has established himself as one of the finest spinners in the shortest format and has excelled at bowling in all phases of the game. The left-arm spinner comes off an under-par season in the IPL and will be raring to get wickets under his belt across the series. England named five right-handers in their top seven for the first T20I, which would definitely have the 32 year old licking his lips.
Jofra Archer
The sight of Jofra Archer bowling at full tilt is a sight to behold. The speedster has recovered from a long injury layoff and has rightfully taken his place as England’s attack leader. He is coming off a stellar IPL season, where he picked up a whopping 25 wickets in the IPL in the Rajasthan Royals’ playoff run, bowling at an economy of 9.31. He carried that form into the New Zealand series, where, despite playing just two matches, he was England’s Player of the Series with 11 wickets. He will be raring to go and will pose a definite threat to the Indian batters.
Prince Yadav
Speedster Prince Yadav was one of the finds of the 2026 IPL season. The fast bowler from Delhi picked up 16 wickets in 14 games for the struggling Lucknow Super Giants and established himself as an all-phase threat, bowling with high pace, control and accuracy. With the injury to Jasprit Bumrah, he was fast-tracked due to his versatility and made his ODI and T20I debuts in a short span. Debuting in the second T20I against Ireland, he picked up figures of 3 for 22 in four overs and was India’s best bowler by a fair margin.
