The IPL 2024 has significantly eroded the confidence of bowlers, as batters have demonstrated remarkable resilience. The world record totals are being achieved with alarming regularity.
In the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, the Sam Curran-led team successfully achieved the target of 262 runs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have achieved three scores of 250 or above, with 287/3 being the highest. Furthermore, the Royal Challengers and Mumbai Indians have also reached significant totals while chasing scores.
Mohit Sharma conceded 73 runs against Delhi Capitals, representing the most expensive spell in the tournament’s history. The bowlers are under constant pressure, and their variations are not providing the desired results.
Ravichandran Ashwin, Irfan Pathan, and Varun Aaron have requested that the BCCI restore balance between the bat and ball. Suresh Raina has also expressed his views on the matter:
“Bowlers will sit down after the Indian Premier League 2024 and will come up with plans to counter the batters from the next seasons. They will discuss about the variations that need to be implemented to curb down the scoring rate in the tournament.”
