The Need for Speed in WPL
While Indian tracks are known for spin, the WPL 2026 season is expected to be dominated by raw pace. Franchises are heavily investing in scouts to find the next “Jhulan Goswami.“
Why Pace is the New Meta?
In the previous seasons, we saw teams struggling against high-quality swing and bounce in the powerplay. Coaches now realize that to win titles, they need bowlers who can clock 120+ kmph consistently.
3 Bowlers on Everyone’s Radar
Titas Sadhu (Delhi Capitals): Already a star, but her ability to swing the ball both ways makes her a wicket-taking machine.
Isabelle Wong (Mumbai Indians): Known for her hat-tricks and death-bowling accuracy.
Renuka Singh Thakur (RCB): The master of the “In-swinger” who can dismantle any top order.
Scouting Domestic Talent
Keep an eye on the Under-19 stars entering the auction. The BCCI’s focus on the “A” team tours is producing fast bowlers who are ready for the big stage.
