Taking the conversation forward, Aakash Chopra came up with a prompt reply saying that a bowler should be allowed to bowl an extra over if he manages to pick a three-wicket haul in his spell. He tweeted, “Three wickets in a spell should allow the bowler to bowl an extra over. also, Imagine someone trying to hit you for a 100-metre six (because it’s an 8), good chance that he’ll lose shape…risk-reward”.
