Ashwin, who dodge the batsmen with his brilliant bowling, often discuss the important aspects of cricket, who draws the attention of fans and experts. After retiring from international cricket, Ashwin is currently busy playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). The tournament has started just a few days, but Ashwin has made such a statement that has shocked everyone. He says that the dominance of the batsmen in the current T20 cricket has increased so much that soon every bowler may need a private psychologist.
Batsmen dominating became a matter of concern
In T20 cricket, batsmen are continuously taking aggressive stance. Many new rules have also been brought in favor of the batsmen, which has increased the challenge for the bowlers. Especially in the IPL, big scores are being made continuously since the last few seasons. Sunrisers Hyderabad (CSK) surprised everyone by scoring a huge score of 277 and 287 runs in the last season. At the same time, in the second match of this season, this team scored 286 runs and demonstrated their strength again. Now the discussion is being done that which team will first cross the 300 -run mark.
Effect on mental health of bowlers
Raising this issue, Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern over the mental state of the bowlers. During the discussion on his YouTube channel, he said, “I think the bowlers will soon need a personal psychologist. It may be really necessary. People are saying that the bowlers have become defensive, also assume it, but it becomes impossible to bowl on a few occasions.”
Ashwin’s statement shows the increasing problems of bowlers in the current cricket format. Now it has to be seen what steps are taken on this in the coming time.
133 sixes in 6 matches, 6 times 200+ score – difficult situation for bowlers
Indian off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is not the only player seeking favorable conditions for the bowlers. During this tournament, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has also made a similar statement. He had said that if only big scores continue to be made, then cricket will become boring and it would be more right to call it ‘batting’.
It has been seen in the beginning of this season itself. A score of more than 200 has been scored in the 6 matches played so far. The special thing is that all these scores came in only 3 matches, that is, each time the 200 innings crossed the 200 figure. Not only this, in this entire season of 74 matches, only 6 matches have been hit by 133 sixes and 205 fours. This clearly shows that the situation has become very challenging for the bowlers.
