Gautam Gambhir: There have been many high scoring matches in IPL 2024. A few days ago, 549 runs were scored in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians. In this match, 81 fours including 38 sixes were hit. In the match between KKR and Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, more than 200 runs were scored by both the teams.
Gautam Gambhir has advocated the use of Duke ball in IPL
The biggest problem for the bowlers is that the pitch does not help them and the ball does not move in 20 overs. Due to flat pitch and lack of ball movement, bowlers are getting washed out a lot this season.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir said that the company making cricket balls needs to be changed. At present, IPL matches are being played with Kookaburra company balls. He has advocated the use of Duke ball instead of Kookaburra in IPL.
Gautam Gambhir said, if a company cannot make a ball that lasts for 50 overs, then the ball of another company has to be played. What is the compulsion to use only Kookaburra balls in IPL matches?
