R Ashwin Issues An Appeal On Behalf Of All As PBKS Chases Down Record 262 vs. KKR in “Save The Bowlers”

Out of the blue, a group pursued down a 260 or more all-out in the T20 design. What’s more, it was accomplished by an Indian Premier League team, the Punjab Kings.

The IPL 2024 saw something unprecedented on Friday. Something which has never occurred throughout the entire existence of cricket. Out of the blue, a group pursued down a 260 or more all-out in the T20 design. Furthermore, it was accomplished by an Indian Premier League team, the Punjab Kings. Pursuing a 262-run all-out, scarcely anyone would have allowed an opportunity to PBKS; however, at that point, their hitter had another thought. Jonny Bairstow (108), Prabhsimran Singh (54), and Shashank Singh (68*) contributed in equivalent measures as PBKS accomplished the world record.

The effective pursuit likewise brought up an extremely relevant issue. Is the game just for the hitters?

Previous Punjab Kings commander and twist extraordinary R Ashwin raised a please for the bowlers mid-match. “Save the bowlers, somebody, please SOS SOS #KKRvsPBKS #IPL2024,” he posted on X.

“It’s run a ball for the last 2 overs of a T 20 game in a chase of 260 +.  Let that sink in. #IPL2024 #KKRvsPBKS.”

“How would you characterize a game like this?? ‘Memorable’ is the best way to depict this, I presume. 262 effectively pursued with 8 balls and 8 wickets in excess. What else is possible???” composed previous India player Aakash Chopra on X.

“Hitters have opened their actual potential… over to the bowlers to show improvement over batters… that’s adjusting and advancing. #IPL #KKRvPBKS”

“Cricket has changed. The outlook of batsmen has changed,” composed Irfan Pathan.
