IPL 2024: Bowlers Have Been Coming Into Their Own In Last Three Weeks: Brett Lee

Indian Premier League: The high scores by batters and bowlers being taken to the cleaners constantly in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the biggest talking point of the tournament. But Brett Lee, the legendary Australia fast-bowler, thinks bowlers are staging a fightback in the last three weeks of the competition.

“The batting’s been outstanding; we have seen a thousand sixes being hit in this (season of) Indian Premier League. The batters have been on fire, but the bowlers need to make sure they are coming into their own, which is definitely there in the last three weeks. The pitches have now started to turn more, while the fast bowlers are getting a few more wickets,” Lee told IANS.

Asked about bowlers conceding lots of wides while trying to get the ball out of the batters’ hitting arc, Lee replied, “The bowlers aren’t bowling wides on purpose, they are trying to bowl down that wide line guidelines and are just missing their mark unfortunately. I don’t mind that as if they are trying to hit their target while being inside the wide zone, it’s better than bowling a good length which can be hit for six.”
