Some pacers have that raw pace in them, meaning that, the extra effort from their side could lead to troubling the batters even more. Such kind of an attribute also helps the team when it comes to hitting the deck hard. Most batters have a weakness against high-end pace and hence, it becomes important for teams to stock such pacers. Here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best raw pace bowlers for IPL 2024.
1) Rajasthan Royals (Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen and Navdeep Saini)
The pace attack of Rajasthan Royals is built on the ability of the bowlers to bowl at a high-end pace. Prasidh, Avesh, Kuldeep and Navdeep can all ensure that the bowling is consistently in the 140s.
In the past, even Trent Boult used to bowl quickly. While his pace has dropped a bit, he has improved the other areas of his game. Especially in the powerplay, it is hard to tackle him.
2) Mumbai Indians (Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee and Nuwan Thushara)
Mumbai Indians have Jasprit Bumrah, who is one of the best pacers in this regard. At any time of an inning, he is capable of touching high 140s.
Gerald Coetzee, the new addition, is also capable of doing this. Since both these players will play all the games for Mumbai Indians, the franchise never needs to worry about pace. Hence, we have Mumbai Indians in this list.
3) Royal Challengers Bangalore (Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson and Mohammed Siraj)
RCB is one of the teams with the best raw pace bowlers for IPL 2024. It appears that the likes of Andy Flower wanted to build such a pace attack. Hence, their signings in the auctions were also in this order.
One of Alzarri or Lockie will surely feature in the playing XI. You cannot call Siraj exactly a player with raw pace but even he can go beyond 140 consistently.
