‘Bowlers need support… otherwise the game will become one-sided’

New Delhi. Indian cricket team’s star off-spinner R Ashwin has expressed concern about power hitting in modern cricket. Ashwin says that in today’s time, power hitting batting is making the size of cricket stadiums irrelevant. Ashwin, one of the best spinners in the world, is afraid that his power-hitting batting might make the game one-sided. Ashwin has said this in view of the big scores being made in the current IPL. The figure of 250 has been crossed several times in this season of IPL. Apart from this, teams also scored 287 and 277 runs in this season. With the implementation of the Impact rule in this league, now teams are continuously scoring more than 200. And this score is not considered safe.

37-year-old right-arm spin bowler R Ashwin said, ‘The stadiums built earlier are not relevant in today’s time. The bats that were used at that time are no longer used even in street cricket. The boundary has already been reduced by 10 yards due to the sponsors’ use of LED boards. In today’s era the game is too much tilted towards one side (the batsman). It’s like making someone happy by troubling someone. Bowlers need mental encouragement.

Papa will be very happy today… We can touch the figure of 5000 in T20… Indian opener roared after creating history.

Players were not selected on the basis of form… Make Kohli open… Why did the legend say this?

R Ashwin, however, expressed hope that even in these circumstances, a good bowler will make his mark and continue to prove himself with his new skills. According to Ashwin, ‘When the balance of the game changes and you have to find answers. This is a good opportunity to show yourself different. Currently Ashwin is playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. Ashwin’s bowling performance in the current IPL has not been anything special. He has been able to take only 2 wickets in 9 matches. R Ashwin has taken 173 wickets in 226 matches of IPL.
