Do you think that the bowlers are punished more in T20 format than anyother format of game.Since T20 is batsmans paradise i feel bowlers have very less channces to prove their skills on this shortest version of the game

It is not like that . Bowlers are equally important. i agree there is domination of batsman , but this is due to the shortage of overs and urge to score runs as quick as possible. Moreover , the batting team has 10 wickets in hand. Bowlers can restrict the batsman in crucial situations . For example , a few tough overs can change the game in the team's over. A classic example would be the match between CSK AND PUNJAB . CSK batting first stumbled to 114 in 20 overs. Everyone thought PUNJAB will surely win the match . But what happened , MURALITHARAN bowled a crucial 4 overs giving away just 8 runs and also took 2 wickets which turned the game. Spin bowlers played a crucial role and CSK won. So, everyone has a chance to prove in T20 including bolwers , batsman , fielders and wicket keeper.
