Will Indian pitches help fast bowlers in this IPL?

Hindustan Times  

Among other unprecedented events, the previous edition of the IPL in late 2020 will be remembered for the show put on by the fast bowlers. DC pacer Kagiso Rabada bowls during IPL 2020 cricket match against Delhi Capitals, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. “For the success of the IPL, good grounds and pitches are very important,” says Daljit Singh, former head of BCCI’s pitch and grounds committee, who had overseen the IPL grounds from the inaugural season all the way until his retirement in 2019. Bottom-up rolling will give good bounce for a wicket, where you play cuts and pulls.” According to Daljit, Wankhede Stadium and Eden Gardens are the grounds where the fast bowlers can make a big impact in the upcoming season. The idea is to prepare a good wicket and have a good game.” Another reason why the fast bowlers were able to go flat out in the UAE was because there was no fear of top edges flying into the stands, as the boundaries were big enough in two of the three venues – Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
