The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season has been a running extravaganza so far. In just 35 games so far, the team has crossed the 250-point mark five times, with SunRisers Hyderbad (SRH) achieving it three times. SRH also broke the record for the highest total in IPL history twice. Ahead of the IPL 2024 running extravaganza, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suggesting measures to protect the bowlers.
Gavaskar urged the BCCI to push the ropes and hoardings back a bit to increase the length of the boundaries.
“I’m not recommending any changes to the cricket bats as they are all within the regulations, but I have been saying for a long time to increase the boundary size on every pitch. Look at this pitch today, there is plenty of room to move it Moving back a few meters can often prove to be the difference between a catch and a six. You can push the LED or billboard further so that the boundary rope can be moved back 2-3 meters and that will make a difference. , otherwise the bowlers will be the only ones affected,” Gavaskar said after the match.
Gavaskar admitted that while power batting in the IPL can be exciting at times, it often ends up becoming boring, which highlights the lack of competition between batsmen and bowlers.
“What we have seen in T20 cricket over the past few days is that the batting is like the coach said in the nets, ‘This is the last over’ and everyone starts swinging the bat and bang, bang, Whether they’re out or out, no. It’s enjoyable in a way, but then it becomes… less exciting, I want to use a stronger word, but no,” he added. road.
