Rajasthan Royals: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen excellent performance by the batsmen on the field, in which teams have scored 250 plus quite easily. This season, the performance of Rajasthan Royals team has also been excellent under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, in which they have almost confirmed their place for the playoffs by winning 8 out of 10 matches. Meanwhile, experienced off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, part of the Rajasthan team, has now given a big statement regarding the increasing influence of batsmen in the T20 format, in which he has raised questions regarding the size of the stadiums.The boundaries are getting smaller and smallerRavichandran Ashwin said in his statement that the stadiums that were built some time ago do not fit in today's modern cricket. Now no one likes to play even street cricket with the bats that were used at that time. After the introduction of LED boards in the stadium, the boundary has become 10 yards shorter than before, hence scoring runs has become an easier task for the batsmen. If this continues in the future then this game will become completely one-sided with nothing much left for the bowlers.Bowlers also need encouragementAshwin further said in his statement that in today's time the game seems to be more in favor of the batsmen and it is as if to please one, you are troubling the other. In such a situation, bowlers need mental encouragement. However, I hope that even in these circumstances, a better bowler will definitely be successful in making a name for himself on the basis of his talent. When the balance of the game gets disturbed, you have to find answers. Let us tell you that Ashwin has not got a place in the Indian team for the recently announced upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. He was a part of Team India in the last T20 World Cup played in the year 2022.
