The rule has been launched this season with the concept that the bowlers may have extra variations on the subject of attacking the batters who need to lower lose proper from the phrase go.
IPL veteran Sandeep feels the 2-bouncers per over would hold the batters guessing and would additionally scale back their capability to foretell bowlers’ plans.

“But with two bouncers, the batters are also in two minds that there is still one bouncer left for the bowler to use,” he mentioned after Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs.

Sandeep, who bowled a tremendous spell of three-0-22-1 to tilt the sport in favour of Rajasthan Royals, mentioned having clear plans from the administration additionally performs an enormous position for a bowler to organize.
“When I came into this team, I knew that I would get less opportunity with the new ball. I practiced a lot in nets on my slower bouncer, yorkers and death bowling,” he mentioned.
“This is a matter of mindset. Like if I know that I will get to bowl more with the new ball, then I would practice more on that. The mindset would be that I have to bowl in powerplay, only two fielders are out. So what plans should I take or make?” “And then, when I know that I have to bowl more after powerplay, then I practice in nets and the mindset is the same that which deliveries I have to start. If I am bowling with a new ball, then I will never start the first ball on the wide line. The ball should finish in the line of the stumps,” he mentioned.
“But today, I started the first ball from the wide line, so if the management already clears you or you already know where you have to bowl the majority (of overs), then it becomes easy to prepare,” he mentioned.
Pooran calls it good rule with a rider ======================== Meanwhile, on his half, Lucknow Super Giants’ vice-captain and West Indies mainstay Pooran mentioned having consciousness concerning the scenario can be the important thing.
“It’s a good rule. Especially when a guy now comes into bat, it’s really effective. If someone doesn’t like the short ball, you can pepper him with a couple of short balls,” he mentioned.
“But in saying that, we as players and bowlers need to do our homework as well. Some batsmen, they like the short ball as well. There’s a short side, and (then) there’s a big side.” But Pooran additionally sounded out a strategic warning for the quick bowlers.
“If you’re going to bowl short balls on the short side, it’s going to be dangerous. You may leak runs. But even in the death overs, just to have that two short balls in the over, it makes a big difference, especially if there’s a big side and a short side as well.” Pooran mentioned this rule can be useful for numerous groups at totally different venues because the match progresses.
“I do think in certain venues, it’s going to be really effective. So yeah, it’s going to be a challenge,” he mentioned. PTI DDV KHS KHS
