In order to keep the perfect balance between the ball and the bat, legendary Australian spinner, Shane Warne had suggested three major changes to T20 cricket. He further had also said–two bowlers should be allowed to bowl five overs instead of four in T20s and pitches to be similar like a fourth day Test match wicket.
Warne’s comment reflected the disparity between batsmen and bowlers. In T20 cricket, especially in the Powerplays and death overs, bowlers have no option but to get back to their mark after being smashed for sixes. Isuru Udana, currently plying his trade for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, was also targetted by a fan on Instagram.

Reacting to Udana’s bowling performance so far in the IPL, the fan wrote– “Why are you conceding runs in power play” Udana also had a fitting reply under his sleeve as he commented – “Because batsman comes with his bat”.
32-year-old Udana has played three matches in IPL 2020 and he has conceded more than 40 runs in every game. However, he has been amongst the wicket-takers too. The Sri Lanka international has picked up five wickets in three outings so far. He was snapped up by RCB at his base price of INR 50 lakh in the IPL 2020 auction.

RCB, meanwhile, is sitting on the fifth spot in the points table. The Virat Kohli-led side started the tournament with a victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad before suffering a 97-run defeat against Kings XI Punjab. Overcoming the defeat, RCB registered wins over Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) before Delhi Capitals defeated them by 59 runs on Monday.
Vying for their maiden IPL title, the Bangalore side is next scheduled to face MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings on October 10 at Dubai International Stadium.
