In a long tournament like the Indian Premier League, it is desired to have depth in all departments. Here, we take a look at the list of three teams with the best fast-bowling depth for the upcoming season of IPL 2026.
Players are vulnerable to injuries, especially the pacers. Hence, it is best to have depth here to be prepared for the worst.
1) Lucknow Super Giants
LSG has a plethora of fast bowlers in the squad. Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Anrich Nortje and Akash Singh are to name a few. They can field a XI with no overseas pacers required.
2) Punjab Kings is one of the teams with the best fast-bowling depth for IPL 2026
Punjab Kings have Arshdeep Singh, Yash Thakur and Vyshak V in the Indian pace unit. When it comes to the foreign contingent, they have Lockie Ferguson, Marco Jansen, Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett. Not to forget the contributions from Marcus Stoinis and Mitch Owen.
3) Delhi Capitals
DC has also done a good job here. They have Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Aaquib Dar, Mukesh Kumar, Lungi Ngidi, Kyle Jamieson and D Chameera. That is a lot of depth for the squad. It will be important to select a core and give them a long rope instead of making too many changes in the squad. Hence, Delhi is on the list.
