Exclusive: IPL 2024 Pitch Curator Uncovers Shocking Explanation for High Scores, Claims ‘BCCI Instructs Us…’

The IPL 2024 season has been a run-fest unlike any other, with mammoth totals and six-fests becoming the norm. Fans are left questioning the balance between bat and ball, and a surprising reason has come to light from an unlikely source – the pitch curator himself.

The 2024 Indian Premier League season has been rewriting the record books with a never-before-seen offensive masterclass by batters. This season is witnessing a mind-boggling dominance of bat over the ball, leading to a constant barrage of huge totals that has left many questioning the game’s balance.

The trend became undeniable after the record-shattering encounter between KKR and PBKS. KKR’s mammoth 262 was chased down by PBKS in a mere 18.4 overs – the most successful chase in T20 history. This season is filled with high-scoring encounters, with 260 plus runs scored as many as seven times in IPL 2024.

Several factors are contributing to this batting bonanza, including flatter pitches with shorter boundaries, powerful bats, and the influence of T20 cricket on player mindsets. However, a lesser-discussed culprit might be lurking beneath the surface – climate change.

Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns linked to climate change are affecting pitch behavior. The lack of moisture retention in pitches is making it difficult for bowlers, especially pacers, to contain the batters. The focus now shifts to restoring balance in the game and ensuring that the IPL remains the cricketing spectacle it was always meant to be.
