Generally, India is not known to be producing fast bowlers in international cricket. This is due to the nature of the pitches in the country, which has predominantly provided support to the spinners. However, the green cover on the pitches in the ongoing season of the <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/">Indian Premier League</a></strong> (IPL) has kept the pacers interested with the new as well as the old ball.

Many youngsters and experienced bowlers have proved their abilities to take wickets and put a brake on the opposition batters. With the T20 World Cup 2022 scheduled to be played in Australia later this year, Team India needs bowlers who can use the fast-paced pitches well and can trouble the batters. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are the first-choice picks, and other two-three spots are likely to be filled by other bowlers, who mark their presence on this list.
