Is bowling in crisis for every team? Manjrekar's comment fuels heated IPL debate

Cricket

IPL mayhem is back?

Two thrilling run chases by PBKS and SRH have rocked IPL 2026, making fans wonder if any target is safe now.

A dominating statement

Punjab Kings pulled off an incredible chase, making a big target look easy as their batters attacked from the start and kept going.

SRH joins the party

Sunrisers Hyderabad also chased fearlessly, with their batters making tough targets look easy.

Manjrekar's bold claim

Manjrekar posted on X, saying that when cricket gave batters better helmets and bigger bats, it should have also given bowlers longer boundaries.

What did he mean

Manjrekar meant that changes in cricket have favoured batters, so to keep things fair, bowlers should get some advantages too, like longer boundaries.

Modern IPL favors chasing teams with flat pitches, short boundaries, and big hitters, leaving bowlers with little room for mistakes.

Is IPL loosing it's charm?

After two record chases in one night, people worry the league is becoming all about chasing first and questioning later.
