IPL 2020: Rajasthan Royals’ Tom Curran constructs his complete T20 fast bowler

The T20 format can be a brutal one for bowlers and it is one which requires them to constantly be on their toes. As is the case for batsmen, the 20-over format forces bowlers to push the envelope of innovation.

Variations are the name of the game and no bowler can afford to be one-dimensional. For fast bowlers in particular, the ability to bowl yorkers and mix up the pace is important to survive in a cut-throat competition.

Not every fast bowler can do it all, though and different players bring their own strengths and weaknesses to the table. Some have the pace to unsettle batsmen, while others have a cleverly disguised slower delivery to mix things ups.

What makes a complete T20 fast bowler? The ideal T20 world beater will have every weapon in his armoury, including the assets of speed, accuracy and variations.

One fast bowler who has developed into a T20 specialist over the years is England’s Tom Curran. Currently plying his trade with Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, Curran sat down with Sport360 to construct his ideal T20 fast bowler.

Combining the best traits of Mitchell Starc, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar among others, Curran’s complete T20 fast bowler is one scary proposition. Watch the video above to see the big names that have been picked by the Englishman.
