World Cup: Dominance of Indian bowlers in the World Cup, India took 86 out of 90 wickets of the opposition teams in nine matches.

The performance of the Indian team in the World Cup 2023 has been very excellent. The team has won all its nine matches so far. Now India faces New Zealand in the semi-finals on Wednesday. This match will be played at Wankhede, Mumbai. The bowlers have been responsible for the success of the Indian team in this tournament. Team India's bowling has been excellent and it has taken 86 wickets out of a total of 90 wickets in its nine matches. If compared with other teams that reached the semi-finals, Indian bowlers have taken the most wickets. In this list, South Africa is in second place with 85 wickets, Australia is in third place with 76 wickets and New Zealand is in fourth place with 69 wickets.

Indian bowlers have maintained their fear of the batsmen of the opposition teams in this World Cup. After the play of Mohammed Shami, the bowlers of this team are looking very lethal. Apart from Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav have bowled brilliantly. All of them have not allowed the opposition batsmen to play freely. There are four Indian bowlers in the list of top 10 bowlers with the best economy rate among those who bowled more than 30 overs in this World Cup. Among these, Jasprit Bumrah is at the top with an economy rate of 3.65. Jadeja's economy rate has been 3.97, Kuldeep's 4.15 and Shami's 4.78. After Kagiso Rabada (7), Bumrah has also bowled the most number of maiden overs (6) in this World Cup.

India has seven teams in nine matches in this World Cup. These include teams from Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the Netherlands. At the same time, India had taken eight wickets each against two teams. These include Afghanistan and Bangladesh. On one hand, it rained runs against the other teams and almost all the teams gave more than 300 runs in one match or the other. At the same time, no team has been able to touch the figure of 300 against India in this World Cup. New Zealand has had the highest score against Team India. He had scored 273 runs against India in Dharamsala. At the same time, Afghanistan has the second-best score. He had scored 272 runs.

India limited the opposition teams to under 200 runs five times in this World Cup. Out of these, twice the Indian team eliminated the opposition team within 100 runs. In every match in which Team India has defended the score, the victory margin has been 100 or more. In this World Cup, India has defended the total in the last four matches during the league stage and has won all four i.e. there is a record of 100 percent win. If we compare the other teams that reached the semi-finals, South Africa also defended the score in five matches and won all five. At the same time, New Zealand defended the score four times and won two and lost two. Australia defended the score five times and lost only once (against India). Australia won the remaining four matches. This record also holds significance because dew plays an important role and it is extremely difficult to defend the score.

At the same time, Jadeja is in second place, who has taken 16 wickets in nine matches. Shami has taken 16 wickets in five matches, while Kuldeep has taken 14 wickets.
