Cricket has always been a batsmen’s game where every part of the rule of the game has been designed to favor the batsman and not the bowler. From the start, the game had been skewed toward the hitters’ side. It is actually because at the heart of cricket is ‘reactive science’ and the thrill of the game comes from the response a batsman can give to the ball thrown at him. Also, just look at the cricket audience, have you ever seen someone not hungry for runs from their favorite team? Scoring the most runs is what everyone wants to see from their team. It’s simple, taking more wickets didn’t make anyone win any games if their hitting side didn’t do their job properly. If I am not mistaken even during colonial times when cricket was played in the colonies the British clique only batted leaving the bowling part to the subjects. Batting was always considered superior to bowling as the thrill of the game came from how good the batsman’s response is to the ball being thrown at him by the pitcher. Also, how often have you seen people jump to their feet after a bowler bowls a point ball or a wide? bowling is only held when the wicket is taken where each batsmen’s limit is greeted with great excitement. Not to mention, in this era of virtual cricket tournaments, as held on fantasy cricket sites, players are more concerned with picking the right batsmen who score a big run, as that can lead to a prize pool. in bulk cash for the player who is there to play. fancy cricket. Compared to batsmen, bowlers are less economical as the scope of scoring is limited. Therefore, in order to play cricket games online, it is important to study the batsmen very thoroughly.

All the rules of cricket are based on the benefit of the batsman, from a pitch suitable for batting to the size of the boundaries and even restricting the bowler from delivering certain shots.

However, with that said, it is also true that hype has become real over the last 20 years to help the batsman score more. Two decades ago, we could see batsmen entering the field of play without much protective gear against bowling attack bowlers. The overs were more and test matches were important where the batsman was unable to reach many limits against the prolonged attack of the bowlers. However, this turned out to be less productive in terms of viewership as test matches seemed a bit boring and people liked the pace of ODIs with limited overs where the excitement is real. Limited matches became the haven for cricketers as limits have gotten smaller, the field has become flatter and more batsman-friendly, bats have improved with better balance, better handles, and generally , a better form, also known as ‘SUPERBATS’. On the other hand, it also entered the improved protective equipment seen for batsmen. So yes, in fact nowadays the teams compete for more runs against each other, which makes it a batsman competition instead of Bat Vs Ball.
