in brief
This season, Sunil Gavaskar believes the IPL has fallen short of his reputation.
Gavaskar wrote a critical column about the IPL.
This season of IPL has witnessed some exciting games.
Sports Desk for India Today Sunil Gavaskar, a former captain of India and one of the game's most illustrious players, has penned a harsh editorial condemning the Indian Premier League. Gavaskar claimed that the IPL has fallen short of living up to its tagline this season, "Where talent meets opportunities," in his piece for Sportstar magazine. In all facets of the game this season, according to Gavaskar, there has been a dearth of exciting young talent, and he does not anticipate that to change any time soon.
According to Gavaskar's essay, "unless there are some hidden gems yet to be discovered, the fast bowling department, the opening batting, and the spin bowling sections are looking devoid of any exciting talent."
IPL Points Table for 2023
The former India batsman claimed that this season's batters are more interested in going for glory shots than in playing intelligent cricket. While it might succeed for a few deliveries, he has maintained that the bowler will almost certainly prevail in the end.
In the current season of the tournament, Gavaskar has also criticised the spinners, claiming that they are bowling more like medium pacers rather than altering their pace and ball flight.
"There seems to be a talent shortage in the bowling division as well. The T20 format is incredibly difficult on the bowlers, which is reasonable, but the lack of preparation and thought when the batter gets dug into them is troubling. According to Gavaskar, spinners rarely alter their delivery speed and by bowling flatter, they appear to be medium pacers, which is exactly what batters are searching for.
As uncapped cricketers from India, Rinku Singh, Mayank Markande, and Ayush Badoni have played significant roles in sensational victories, the IPL's first games have seen some enthralling matchups.
