Following this, Warne, who is Rajasthan Royals&#39; mentor, said that &quot;tiny boundaries&quot; are not helping the bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Batsman are getting better and have been awesome yes - but the bowling really needs to improve at the same rate! The mindset is defence &amp; not attack. Sure these tiny boundaries don&#39;t help - but they can still get better at executing their skills (sic),&quot; tweeted Warne.<\/p>\r\n",
