Delhi: These days, during the IPL matches, there is a view that was not seen before this season. One of the oldest laws of cricket is that the batsman should bat with the same size bat which is written in the law so that he is not doubting that he is batting with any ‘additional benefits’. Especially whenever a batsman makes a big score or put such strokes which are incredible, the needle of suspicion also goes to that batsman’s bat.
In the IPL, the balance between the bat and the ball is bending towards batting and only then the discussion has started to score like 300 in 20 overs. In such a situation, the question arose that is it not that batsmen are taking advantage of batting with ‘big bat’?
‘Bat check’ test intensified
The same thing happened and the wrong -shaped bats are coming in the grip. In the exciting match of April 16, in the discussion of Kolkata Knight Riders-Punjab Kings match, it was suppressed that two KKR batsman Sunil Naren (who is well known for loud hitting and cannot say that he is a ‘bowler’) and the tail batsman Enrich Nortje stopped for batting, the umpire stopped, his ‘bat’ was stopped. Both had to change the bat. So it is clear that there are mistakes in the shape of the bat. After this, the ‘bat check’ tests intensified.
Questions raised on Naren’s bat
On this, the question is to arise whether Naren was still taking ‘advantage of batting with a valid bet larger than the valid size in the IPL? Well, nothing can happen on what has happened, but now the new initiative of the IPL Governing Council cannot be called wrong. What happened in Mullanpur will always be mentioned as an example. That is why now on the boundary of the reserve umpire, the batsman going to bat will not call the batter’s bats size investigation ‘wrong’. The ground umpire also has this right to investigate.
What is written in law on the size of the bat:
- The width in front of the bat should not exceed 10.79 cm
- Blade thickness does not exceed 6.7 cm
- Width of the edge of the bat should be within 4 cm
- The length of the bat should not exceed 96.4 cm
Sweet spots strengthening
Worldwide, especially in T20 batsmen another who makes a mess for their own benefit, is the suit spot (the part of the bat that makes the shot powerful), without increasing the total weight of the bat, without increasing the total weight of the bat. By reducing wood from the part of the handle, makes the sweet spots powerful. Such bats are made only on the order of the special batsman.
BAT has been investigated in IPL before
It is not that before this, the size of the bat has never been checked in the IPL. This investigation has been done but inside the dressing room in some match. The mess in this was that a day before the match, the batsmen used to give their bat for investigation, in fact the day on the match, they used any other bat. That is why now stop it, the process of which the batsman is actually using the batsman started.
Given the batting that took place in the previous season, before the start of this season, many bowlers expressed concern over the deteriorating balance between the bat and the ball. It was even said that if the run and fast batting continue like this, then the name of this game will have to be changed, ‘batting’.
Results of ‘Gauge Test’
Still understand that in the IPL, they are taking the result of ‘gauge test’ for the bat check. On getting the mistake, warning to the batsman and he changes the bat, batting. In English cricket, they are taking it very seriously. In the current playing condition of the English County Championship, such mistakes are cut from the game on such a mistake (an example: Nottinghamshire last year) and the example of missing the opportunity to win the championship due to this deduction is also present.
Seeing this, it can be assumed that this investigation of the bat in the current IPL season is just a ‘Intro’ and if the batsman does not improve and the team’s own investigation system is not made for the batter’s own check, then the day is not far when in the IPL, even in the IPL, the points will be cut on such a mistake which will prove to be a very expensive deal in the playoff playing race.
