Sunil Gavaskar, a legendary figure in Indian cricket, recounted an incident from his time on the IPL Governing Council where he was 'pulled up' for soliciting suggestions from franchise captains to improve the league. Despite the reprimand, his initiative led to the adoption of the Qualifier and Eliminator format, allowing the top two teams a second chance at the title. Gavaskar expressed his pride in being part of the IPL's inception, likening it to nurturing a child into a successful adult. However, he voiced concerns over the game increasingly favoring batters, advocating for changes to the no-ball rule to give bowlers more leeway. He suggested allowing a margin above the batter's head for bouncers to enhance bowlers' chances, arguing that current interpretations hinder their effectiveness.
