    WPL 2025: Time Ripe For India’s Fast Bowlers To Take Centre Stage In The Tournament

    Renuka Singh Thakur: During the first leg of the 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL) in Bengaluru, India head coach Amol Muzumdar had said during a guest commentary stint the national set-up was trying to build a pool of fast bowlers from the five-team tournament.

    The widening of the fast bowling pool in Indian women’s cricket is something which former head coach Ramesh Powar stressed in July 2021. But so far from the two seasons of the WPL, the players who have gone on to play for India are mostly spinners. If one sees the 2024 season, then five spinners have reached double-wicket figures – Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav and Tanuja Kanwer.

    But when it comes to overall double wicket figures from that very season, there’s no Indian fast-bowler, with Shikha Pandey being the standout via nine scalps. Shikha also was the only Indian fast-bowler to reach overall double-wicket figures in WPL 2023 – 10 scalps, with left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque being the other one in that club with 15 wickets.
