Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins expressed concern about the increasing dominance of batsmen in T20 cricket, with even scores of around 250 no longer feeling safe. The IPL has seen teams easily chase down 200-plus targets, making it tough for bowlers. Despite the format always favoring batters, this season has taken it to a new level, with players attacking bowlers right from the start. SRH successfully chased down a massive 244-run target against Mumbai Indians, showcasing the challenges faced by bowlers.
Cummins humorously acknowledged the difficulties for bowlers in high-scoring games, emphasizing the importance of execution in crucial moments. He highlighted the impact of quality bowlers like Lasith Malinga in shaping game results. SRH praised their fearless batters for their positive approach, with Cummins joking that he’s glad he doesn’t have to bowl to them. The team’s aggressive attitude has been a key factor in their success.
Overall, Cummins recognizes the tough landscape for bowlers in T20 cricket but believes that skillful execution and quality bowlers can still make a difference in matches.
