No batsman could score a half-century, but Fakhar Zaman and Imad Wasim definitely played important innings of 40-40 runs. Guyana Amazon Warriors, who came out to chase this score, did not have a great start in this match. Both the opening batsmen of the team were out in the powerplay itself, while explosive batsmen like Shimron Hetmyer and Azam Khan also could not do anything special. After this, when the team’s situation seemed to be getting better, Shai Hope was out after scoring 41 runs on a score of 122. Guyana needed 65 runs in the last 4 overs. Then Romario Shepherd made the match more exciting by scoring 32 runs in 16 balls with the help of 4 sixes. Amazon needed only 16 runs in the last over. Then Dwayne Pretorius made his team win the match by hitting 3 fours and a six on the last ball.
‘We hurt the confidence of our batsmen’: Harbhajan Singh on Test cricket ending in a 2-3 draw
Let’s know what Harbhajan Singh said Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has recently been seen criticizing the Indian management. In this criticism, Harbhajan has blamed the management for preparing spin-friendly pitches when Test matches end in 2-3 days. On the other hand, pitches are always a topic of discussion when it comes to Test matches, especially in India, when big teams like Australia and England come to India to play. The Indian management always focuses on making such pitches that help the host team. So sometimes, not only foreign teams face difficulty in batting on spin friendly pitches, but Indian batsmen also seem to be quite troubled. Big batsmen like Virat Kohli have also been affected by this in the recent past. It is worth noting that among the players who have played more than 8 Test matches in India after the year 2020, only Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have an average above 40. But now giving a big statement on this, Harbhajan has said that pitches play an important role in the game, but when the pitch starts turning from 3-4 days in a Test match, this is not seen now. And due to this the confidence of the batsmen has decreased. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview to Sports Tak, Harbhajan Singh said- We have started playing on pitches that take more turn. We wanted to win and we won but do we want to win in two and a half days? I think, if we had prepared normal pitches that would have started turning from the third and fourth day, we would have still won but the batsmen would have got time to settle in. We would not have been discussing the problems our batsmen have against spinners. We have hurt the confidence of our batsmen, because on those pitches anyone gets out cheaply.

The BCCI is reviewing the impact player as well as the double bouncer rule. IPL (Photo Source: Getty Image) Along with the impact player rule, the double bouncer rule is also under threat. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently reviewing both rules. The BCCI has introduced these rules to make the game interesting, which were specifically introduced for the men’s T20 inter-state competition, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMT). The board also tried both rules in the Indian Premier League (IPL). But now everyone has the same question in their mind, will bowlers be able to bowl two bouncers in an over in IPL 2025? Concrete information about this can be found in the coming few weeks. Let us tell you that in IPL 2024, the bowler was allowed to bowl two bouncers in an over. The double bouncer rule was welcomed as it was an important rule to help the bowlers. However, in international cricket, one bouncer is allowed in an over. BCCI is reviewing the impact player and double bouncer rules According to a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI is reviewing the much-discussed impact player rule as well as the double bouncer rule. The BCCI will decide whether to continue with these two rules or not. A state unit official said, “We understand that the impact player and two bouncer rules are the main points and no decision has been taken.” The BCCI is yet to announce the playing conditions for SMAT. It has been more than three weeks since the BCCI released the rules, guidelines and playing conditions for the other upcoming domestic events of the season. However, the state associations have no idea if these two rules will continue. The main issue is the impact player rule, which has become a topic of discussion within the cricket world. Recently Zaheer Khan supported this rule but many players and coaches have opposite views. Earlier, Rohit and Virat have also expressed their opinion on this rule.

IPL 2025: Arun Dhumal will call a meeting, final decision will be taken next week regarding the future of Impact Player rule
Big news is coming that the impact player rule is likely to remain in the next season of IPL as well. Impact Player Rule Sign, (Photo Source: IPL in 2025 Impact Player Rule Will it be retained or not? This discussion is going on in full swing. During the last season, many senior players had expressed their displeasure over this rule. Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that due to this, all-rounders are suffering. On the other hand, Virat Kohli believes that the rule does not give the right balance to the game. Recently, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin supported the rule and said that it is necessary for strategy. Meanwhile, big news is coming that the impact player rule is likely to remain in the next season of IPL as well. BCCI is going to take a final decision on the future of the rule next week. There will be a meeting next week IPL chairman Arun Dhumal is currently busy with ICC responsibilities, due to which the meeting is not being held. But according to recent reports, Arun Dhumal is going to call a meeting next week regarding the Impact Player Rule. A BCCI source told InsideSport, There has been no debate on the impact player rule. As is the case with all new rules, we seek feedback from stakeholders. The franchises have given their feedback and so have some players, we value their feedback. But the final decision has to be taken by the IPL chairman. The Impact Player Rule was introduced in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 with the aim of making the matches more exciting. After a successful trial, it was introduced in IPL 2023. At the same time, in IPL 2024, due to this rule, totals of more than 200 became common. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah believes that this rule has both advantages and disadvantages. According to Shah, the negative thing is that this is eliminating the role of all-rounders and the positive thing is that this gives Indian players a chance to showcase their talent.
