Top pacer ranking and rating of CSK Team in TATA IPL 2023

After the IPL 2022, the cricket followers are eagerly waiting to see the performance of the Franchises in the IPL 2023, which is the latest edition of this tournament.  Although people mostly celebrate the performance of the Batters in cricket, the Bowlers do play a significant role in the result of the match. 

Pace Bowling Meaning

Each team in IPL has a variety of bowlers with different specialities and all of them play a major role in the game. In Cricket, there are two major types of bowlers : Spinner & Pacer. The Spin Bowlers or Spinners count on the rotation and turn of the ball, on the other hand, the Pace bowlers or Pacers count on the Speed of the Ball to dismiss a Batter.

Types of Pacers in Cricket

The aim of the Fast bowler or a pacer in cricket is to get the wicket of the batter by using the primary weapon, which is, the speed of the ball. The bowler uses the ball's movement on the pitch(usually known as Seam Movement) or its movement in the air(usually known as Swing Movement).

This is further categorized in 3 major sub-categories:

• Right/Left Arm Medium - The relatively slow pace bowler.
• Right/Left Arm Fast Medium - The majority of professional pace bowlers fall into this category.
• Right/Left Arm Fast - The fastest of all pace bowlers.
• The pace bowlers are most commonly called Fastbowlers, Quicks or Pacers. They are often referred as Seam Bowlers or Seamers.
• Another name given to them is Swing Bowlers or Fast Bowlers, who have this ability to swing the ball to show the features of their deliveries in the game.  
• An absolute Spin Bowler doesn’t need to have a high degree of Pace, however, the dedicated medium-pace swing bowlers are hard to find during test levels at present.
