0

Bowling on different pitches under different conditions is always a tough job. The bowlers have to adjust according to the pitch, the batsman & the whole match situation overall. It’s certainly a hardworking task where a bowler has to toil hard for hours until he is reaped with rewards.

Finally with a great response since we started from March, the April rankings are out & keeping the match situation, the pitch condition, the level of the opposition & many other things without getting unbiased, Cricketgraph has shortlisted these bowling spells amongst the best for the month of April. One more interesting trend which we noticed was the improvement in the quality of left-arm spinners which was once a rarity in India. Surprisingly 5 out of 6 players in April who came up with the best performances are left-arm spinners which is a very positive sign for cricket in Mumbai & India overall.

Once again there will be two joint holders in the ‘Joint 5th Ranking’ as we don’t want to miss out on any good perfomances & let them go unnoticed.
