Also a small boundaries are one of the main reason of high scoring matches in this IPL. But spare a thought for the bowlers who do not have much going for them despite their skills. As IPL 2024 continues to lean heavily towards batters, it is essential to ensure that there is still room for bowlers to influence matches. The sport is, after all, based on the contest between bat and ball.
