When Twenty20 cricket first emerged in 2003, it was believed that the shortest format was ultimately a batter's format. But as good teams have realized that bowlers are as essential to winning in the 20-over style, things have altered over time. Some teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have struggled in the league due to a lack of bowling talent.
However, the league's top teams, like the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Mumbai Indians (MI), have established their dominance thanks to their pool of excellent bowlers. Gujarat Titans (GT), the IPL's 2022 debutants, used their bowling arsenal to win a significant number of games. This suggests that in order for teams to succeed in the lucrative league, bowlers are essential.
