Taking Wickets Is Key To Stopping Batters From Big Totals In T20s, Says Harbhajan Singh

Indian Premier League: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes the key to restraining aggressive batting in modern-day cricket lies in the bowlers' ability to take wickets regularly after the Indian Premier League's (IPL) 2024 ongoing season saw teams breaching the 200-run mark at ease on multiple occasions.

Harbhajan, who played 103 Tests, 236 ODIs, and 28 T20Is for India, emphasised that bowlers should aim for wickets even at the cost of conceding runs. He shared his insights in Episode 5 of the podcast series '180 Not Out'.

"I believe that any bowler who says he can stop the run flow is not true. Be it Lasith Malinga, there has never been a better bowler than him in the T20 world. Jasprit Bumrah is that in the modern-day cricket. You can only break the momentum after taking a wicket. To take wickets, you need to bowl well," Harbhajan told Raman Raheja, sports-preneur, media professional, and creator who put together this Podcast '180 Not Out'.
