For many years, the bowlers have dominated many great batters. It was possible due to equal options presented for both of them, but the pendulum is shifting gradually, and it is bending more footards batsmen, especially in the world in the World IPL. The gears are shifting very fast and scoring 200 runs is if it is decided a novice task. This has brought the moral of the bowlers down and has started to raise the question of the game’s future. Cricket’s stakeholders are concerned over how to prevent this sport from decided a batter’s paradise.
What is the reason behind this?
IPL has seen many great batsmen who can play at 200+ strike rate in the past but the kind of ball striiking we see now have been done before. So what has changed? Are the Batsmen’s skills improved, or have they become more fearless? And if so, then why?
There can be many reasons behind this run fest, but the one that stands out is the introduction of the impact player rule, which allows teams to play an extra an extra Batsman who can come after any wicket and This Gave Teams The Depth They Required, and Despite Bowling Teams
The average strike rate of a batter was 138 before the introduction of the impact player rule. It has now gone up to 157. This has had an impact on many ipl legends too.
Another Reason for High Scores is the Pitch Being Used these days, which is generally created according to the directs of the home team. The pitch plays a huge role and it is flat most of the time. The tracks do’t offer swing or spin to the bowlers, due to which the ball comes easily onto the bat.
There is spectator pressure also. The audience has developed the habit of watching high-scoring matches; They want Batsmen to Score more Runs, and It Gets them more involved, so the game is Organized in such a manner that the runs flow easy. This thought is gradually brings the reputation of the tournament down, as the same people who loved high scores are now available bored with it.
Bcci Should Take Bold Step
BCCI should now take control of the game in their hands and take the bold step of removing the impact player Rule from ipl. This rule has many positives and provides a chance to many youngsters, but despite that, it is harming the balance of the game.
The flwed rule isn’t in connection to come into effect in any other t20 Leagues globally. Many greats of the game have also spoken against it, and now it’s high time for the bcci to think about it. Another thing bcci can do is to monitor the preparation of the pitches during the tournament.
