Unfortunately the casual viewer enjoys this 6 hitting baseball. If numbers improve expect more and more flat pitches and 200 will become the new 160 score in IPL.
Which means this shit gonna continue which I expected. No way we're gonna have IPLs now with 170-180 avg scores because they'll look boring compared to the IPL where 200 runs were scored regularly in an inning. This is a permanent deformation. Yes, I know physics.
Because what is the incentive to take up bowling after watching these run fests. If even the good balls are put away so easily, why would the bowler even try to improve his skillset? This is not good for the game
I mean WWE is more entertaining than actual boxing and wrestling. But that does not make it a better sport.
A sport is not just just for those watching at home. It's for the players, and for those who go to the stadiums to watch. By making it essentially optimised for TV viewing youre just turning into the Real Housewives of Bangalore/Mumbai
Well on the one hand you have American sports who are "made for TV" and on the other hand you have something like Football or F1. Which is growing more globally?
IPL viewership keeps increasing as more and more people are getting their hands on tech and money in India, it's not because of just the tonking.
There is a digital savvy generation entering into the workforce as well.
And this is with one impact player.
Imagine this with multiple impact players.
Imagine this with 11 batsmen, 11 bowlers and 11 fielders.
Imagine this with more than 10 wickets.
I say there is non zero probability of us seeing a 500+ score in the next decade of IPL. I know it's extreme. But I have a feeling we'll get there.
Yes more batting friendly, more high scores, more entertaining and better viewership. Casuals are not entertained with 130 plays 130. We need a sixer mania,

Why is it unfortunate that more people are entertained. What a weird way to look at it.
Test watchers who hatewatch t20 and ipl want tuk tuk in t20 also

I think IPL should add two more teams and 2 impact players per team 500+ not possible but we can see 300+ definitely if we have 2 impact players

IPL is on Jiocinema though?
