Sunil Gavaskar gives fiery message to BCCI amid batting carnages and suffering of bowlers
The chaos of runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is spreading. Efforts are being made to establish control over bowlers in any way possible. Sometimes it feels like it's a field made only for the batters. There seems to be nothing for the bowlers here. In the latest match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals, Hyderabad scored 125 runs in just 6 overs. Such examples are emerging, as expressed by former Indian cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar.
Even though teams are surpassing two hundred runs, there is always concern. The opposition wants to score more runs than those two hundred. It seems like the bowlers are unable to utilize their skills effectively on Indian pitches. Some bowlers are struggling. However, when considering the bigger picture, it's evident that the domination lies more with the batters.
Today, Gavaskar spoke on the broadcaster, giving his opinion. He suggested what could be done to maintain a balanced competition in terms of scoring runs. The former Indian cricketer said, "I cannot talk about any changes in cricket bats because they are made according to the rules. However, I have been saying for a long time that the length of boundaries should be increased on every ground."
The distance from the advertising boards to the galleries is quite short. Gavaskar hinted at that direction. He said, "Look at today's ground. There is enough space to extend the boundaries by a few meters, but it often makes a difference between a six and a catch."
Gavaskar believes that cricket is losing some balance in the form of the slugfest seen in T20 cricket. It seems like the image of the main match is standing at the end of the exercise. Where the coach's instructions are to get out or hit a six. In order to cope with such situations, this Indian suggested paying attention to increasing the length of the boundaries.
