New Delhi: Little Master Sunil Gavaskar says that T20 cricket is in good condition and no change is needed, but two bouncers can be allowed in one over. In this shortest format of cricket, the batsmen have dominated and the bowlers on flat pitches have little to do.
Asked if the change of rules is necessary to reduce the pressure on the bowlers, Gavaskar said in an interview to a news channel from UAE that T20 cricket is in very good condition and there is no need for change. He said that this is in line with the batsmen, so fast bowlers can be allowed to bowl two bouncers in each over and the boundary should be slightly larger. He said that the bowler who took wickets in the first three overs could be given an extra over, but I do not think any change in this format is needed.
Regarding the rules, he said that the TV umpire should have the right to check that the batsman standing at the front end has not come out of the crease much before the bowler bowls the ball. Gavaskar said that if this happens, the bowler can run out to the batsman before bowling. He said that the TV umpire feels that if the batsman has overtaken at the non-striker's end, then even if he is four, there can be a penalty of cutting a run.
