Sunil Gavaskar delivers stern message about high-scoring IPL matches.

Teams have breached the 250-run mark five times in just 35 matches of the ongoing IPL season. Of these, SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) achieved this feat three times, breaking the record for the biggest-ever IPL total twice. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has urged the BCCI to consider increasing the length of the boundary by moving back the ropes and advertisement boards. He suggested that extending the boundary by a few metres could make a significant difference in the game, providing more balance between bat and ball.

Gavaskar emphasized the need to maintain a fair competition between batsmen and bowlers, suggesting that increasing the boundary size could reduce the advantage heavily skewed towards the batsmen in T20 cricket. He noted that such changes could prevent the game from becoming too one-sided and promote a more competitive balance. Gavaskar expressed concerns about the current trend in T20 cricket, where aggressive batting dominates with players swinging their bats regardless of the consequences. He highlighted the need for a more structured and balanced approach, expressing a desire for a more engaging and competitive game for both players and fans.
