5 Bowlers with most overs bowled across formats in 2021 so far
In the year 2020, international cricket came to a complete standstill due to COVID. At the end of the year, it started again. Since the beginning of the year 2021, many international series have been played keeping the players in the bio bubble. Mentally, this new method is not an easy task for any player. The biggest problem is in front of a bowler, who has to keep himself mentally strong in the bio-bubble after giving 100 per cent to his team on the field. Here are the bowlers who have bowled the most overs in all three formats so far in the year 2021.
5 – Taijul Islam (Bangladesh)
Bangladesh team’s left-arm spin bowler Taijul Islam has played 6 matches for the team this year in all three formats. During this, Taijul bowled 247.5 overs in 7 innings and bowled a total of 59 maiden overs. Taijul has also taken 20 wickets at an average of 35.52.
