“One area that needs to be looked at in the future,” Sourav Ganguly said of the IPL’s need for a balanced bat-ball match.

Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals (DC) and a former captain of India, has expressed concerns about the unfair competition between bat and ball in the current IPL season. Massive totals have become the norm, and bowlers have been nearly completely ineffective due to flat surfaces and new rules that favour batters.

This year’s IPL has been a run fest, with some teams easily surpassing the 200-run threshold. Bowlers have been hammered all over the field as a result of batters’ strong hitting and batter-friendly tracks. The situation has been exacerbated by the introduction of the ‘Impact Player’ rule, which permits the substitution of an extra batter.

Sourav Ganguly stressed the necessity of regaining some parity, “The bowlers find it difficult. Sourav Ganguly stated at the pre-match press conference, “They are being carted all over and that’s one area that needs to be looked at in the future, the balance between bat and ball,” as reported by India Today.

Despite scoring 400 runs, they have also given up 400: Sourav Ganguly

The renowned opener gave examples of the problems facing bowlers, such as SunRisers Hyderabad’s 125 runs scored in the powerplay and Travis Head’s 89 off 32 balls.”We have scored 400 runs while giving up 400, demonstrating the strength of our batting attack. This is an extremely terrific batting-friendly pitch, said Sourav Ganguly.

The renowned Sunil Gavaskar has previously called for wider boundaries, so the former batter is not the only person who has voiced concerns about the bowlers.

Based on the total number of points, the hosts are presently in sixth place with eight points, while the visitors are in ninth place with six points. In order to move up in the standings and increase their chances of making the playoffs, both sides are hoping to win.
