India will be playing the Super 8 Group 1 matches in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the Caribbean, where the team has had moderate success in the shortest format of the game over the last decade or so. Only a few of the top Indian bowlers have been a part of the T20I team in the West Indies, but they have managed to make quite an impression with the ball in their limited appearances.
In this article, SportsTiger looks at the three highest wicket-takers for Team India in T20Is in the West Indies.
3. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has played in six T20I matches for India in the Caribbean, picking up six wickets at an average of 22.16, while his economy is just 6.33 against some of the world’s biggest power hitters in the West Indies team. The all-rounder is also a handy contributor of runs in the middle-to-end overs of an innings, making him a valuable addition for India in their upcoming Super 8 matches in the T20 World Cup 2024.
2. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has been a regular in the Indian T20I side for the last few years, playing six matches in the Caribbean, where he has picked seven wickets at an average of 25.85 and an economy of 7.86. The left-arm fast bowler brings variety to the Indian bowling attack, and his decent start to the T20 World Cup 2024 could get better in the West Indies, especially if there is some swing and seam on offer early in the innings.
1. Ashish Nehra
Ashish Nehra, the Indian fast bowling legend, played five T20Is in the Caribbean in 2010, picking up a whopping 10 wickets at an average of just 15.60, while his economy was 7.86. During his illustrious career, the left-armer played in multiple T20 World Cups for India, and he will be hoping like many other former cricketers and fans to see the current players win the coveted trophy for the first time in nearly 17 years.
