Is it coincidence that all the top wicket takers in the ipl are?

Question

left arm pace bowlers? Nehra, Pathan, Zaheer khan, Tanvir?

Answer 1

agarkar , warne are also in the list

Answer 2

No it's not a coincidence its because India's top bowlers (apart from Sharma and Singh) are all left arm seamers. On their home pitches they are best able to exploit conditions. I'm sure if Bracken had played he'd be up there too though =O

Answer 3

Yes,it is a coincidence

Answer 4

Ya, it may be coincidence. But U missed RP Singh in the list. Now he is an improving left arm pace bowler. He is the best.

Answer 5

It is a coincidence......

Answer 6

no it is not a coincidence. many players tend to want to hit the ball to the legside and because the ball comes from a different ange they misjudge it. It wont surprise me if the majority of those wickets are for being bowled. in 2020 cricket there is really no time to get your eye in and many players just hit from ball one. because the majority of the bowlers in the world are right handed, batsman are used to those deliveries. If you reverse it, I think more righthand bowlers get lefthand batsman out. I remember of a SA tour to the west indies. Ntini always used to get the lefthanded guys

Answer 7

Yes, its just a coincidence

Answer 8

a coincidence

Answer 9

Did you notice they are indians too and we have(india)a lot of left arm pace bowlers ,even batsman!!!

Not exactly to say it was a coincidence but as the majority of good bowlers are left........... the result favour them.........

Answer 10

That was exactly the question put to Arun Lal in yesterday's match and he said Yes. Which may be true.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

It is just a coincidence.

Agarkar was leading that list in the beginning.

Answer 13

Predominantly left arm bowlers have indeed been more damaging, but I do believe someone like Brett Lee, if continued to play would have been right up there as well ...

You make a good point, seems like a coincidence though ...
