• A total of 250+ scores have been made 8 times so far in IPL 2024.

In the current season of IPL, teams are continuously touching the figure of 200+ runs and many times have also been successful in scoring 250 runs. A total of 250+ scores have been made 8 times so far in IPL 2024. Former Indian captain and Delhi Capitals support staff member Sourav Ganguly said that this trend will continue in the tournament and the main reason for this is the good pitch for batting.

'Impact player rule adds a new factor'

Ganguly said that this trend will continue in the coming years also. T20 has now become a game of power and it was bound to happen. I was reading Sanju Samson's reply in which he had said that there is no room for rest in modern T20. You just have to hit it and it will stay that way. Now we are continuously seeing scores of 240, 250 in IPL. The main reason for this is that the pitch is good for batting and the pitches in India are not that big. In the last match, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals together hit 26 sixes in the 40 over match. Players are now playing T20 like this. The impact player rule also adds another dimension in that each team can include one more batsman.

The talent of bowlers will improve

Ganguly said that bowlers need to improve their skills to stop the aggression of batsmen in T20 and for this he gave the example of Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has taken 18 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 6.20. Ganguly said, bowlers should have more skill now, we have bowlers with skill. You look at Bumrah, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav. Who bowls brilliantly in all formats of the game and IPL.

'Kohli should open in the T20 World Cup'

Ganguly said that considering the excellent form of Virat Kohli in the current IPL season, the Indian team management should make him open the innings in the T20 World Cup to be held next month. Ganguly said, “Virat is playing very well. Looking at Kohli's innings last night, in which he scored a blistering 92 runs, you should use him as an opener in the T20 World Cup. If we look at his last few IPL innings, he has been brilliant so he should open the innings.
