Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary Indian cricketer, has proposed a new rule for the Indian Premier League (IPL) that would allow bowlers to bowl an additional over for every three wickets they take. In his column for Mid Day, Gavaskar emphasized that the current format heavily favors batters, resulting in high scores and one-sided matches. He noted that pitches are often prepared to benefit batsmen, which diminishes the excitement of close contests. By rewarding bowlers with an extra over for taking wickets, Gavaskar believes teams would be incentivized to focus on wicket-taking rather than merely restricting runs. He highlighted the effectiveness of bowlers like Jofra Archer and Kagiso Rabada on challenging pitches, suggesting that the proposed rule could lead to a more competitive environment. Gavaskar concluded by recommending that this rule be trialed in city leagues and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy before considering its implementation in the IPL.
