With big hits, Sunrisers Hyderabad reached 287/3 in 20 overs, which is the highest score ever in IPL history and the fact that RCB lost by just 25 runs proves that the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium There were so many things going against the bowlers.
South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi sparked online debate with OX in a post on Twitter as he questioned the rationale behind holding such a one-sided match for the batsmen.
Asking fans where they enjoyed the one-sided encounter, Shamsi wrote in his social media post that there is a need for pitches and boundaries that can allow a more equal competition between bat and ball.
“As a bowler I'll obviously be biased but I'm just curious.
"Do people enjoy these types of games where bowlers are getting out almost every ball or is it better to have pitches and boundaries to allow an even competition between ball and bat?" Shamsi wrote in his post.
Shamsi received a lot of support from fans on social media and one fan demanded the officials to have 'mercy' on the bowlers.Responding to Shamsi, a fan wrote, "I hate games where there is no competition. I prefer 70 meter boundaries and 160-180 target."
Another fan supported him. "Absolutely not. This is not cricket. ICC and BCCI are destroying cricket.The attraction of one and two is completely different. There should be a balance between bat and ball otherwise it will be difficult to save this beautiful game," the fan said in his post.
With many other cricket experts supporting Shamsi, it is clear that people believe there should be an equal battle between ball and bat. But with big scores getting so much attention from sponsors, it doesn't seem like such an idea would gain enough traction among administrators.
