At Ekana Stadium, RR defeated LSG by chasing down 197 runs.
Lance Klusener discussed the level of bowling in the 2024 Indian Premier League. During the post-match conference following RR’s victory against LSG, Klusener discussed the league’s pursuit of high score records. Against KKR, PBKS chased down the greatest total in the league’s history. Similarly, in the league, scores exceeding 240 are already commonplace.
According to LSG’s assistant coach, the league’s bowling has been extremely mediocre. Lance continued, saying he’s been let down by the bowlers’ slow evolution compared to the hitters. According to Klusener, the hitters are taking advantage of their recent success.
“The quality of bowling has been lacking. Klusener, cited by Cricket sport , stated, “There has been a lot of average bowling lately, and batters are just so good that they’re taking advantage.”
Klusener thought that some of the top pacers had not bowled well in the dying over. According to him, bowlers must develop as swiftly as hitters. The former South African cricket player believed that bowlers had not improved, even though he acknowledged that pitches had become flatter and that swing had decreased.
Yes, the surfaces have been level and there hasn’t been any swing. In Klusener’s opinion, batsmen have advanced somewhat more quickly than bowlers.
The former all-rounder believed that there was no reason to make things more complicated. He thought that four yorkers in an over by a bowler was sufficient, more so than slower deliveries or other variations. Klusener believed that contemporary bowlers depend more on variations than on conventional yorkers that are wider or straighter.
“We no longer see that skill if you go in and execute even four out of six yorkers. I think that pure death bowling, yorkers, whether wide or straight, is a quality that we don’t see very often these days because we’re going to see slower balls and a lot of other variations,” Klusener thought.
I obtained KL Rahul using my customised leg cutter: Khan Avesh
Similar to Klusener, Avesh Khan was present at the winning team’s post-match press conference. When asked what he thought Klusener thought of the bowlers, the RR bowler who got rid of KL Rahul in the final overs was questioned. Avesh believed that the bowlers’ success stems from their ability to deliver variations. Avesh asserted that he used a leg cutter to get rid of Rahul.
“I think it’s sufficient to have just variance as long as it’s done correctly. With my variation, the leg cutter, I got KL Rahul,” Khan remarked.
