IPL 2024: Need To Be Really Smart As A Batting Unit In Preparing For Two-bouncer Rule, Says Vijay Shankar
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: The T20 has majorly been a batter-friendly format with bowlers allowed only one bouncer to bowl in an over. But things have changed in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with bowlers now allowed to bowl two bouncers per over, following a successful trial in the 2023/24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Vijay Shankar, the Gujarat Titans’ all-rounder, believes the new rule is a very tricky one for the batters, adding that the side’s batting department has to be really smart in preparing for facing bouncers at any given point in an over.
“It has actually been a very tricky one – as a bowler, you can’t keep bowling that (bouncers). As a batter, if you set up and hit one or two (boundaries), then for a bowler to actually go to another plan is not easy. As a bowler, one has to use that in the right way. There are a few grounds in India which are really big in terms of square boundaries and on those venues, every fast-bowler will use bouncers.”
