I think the whole league started based on that, that we want to give an opportunity to our domestic players.

We want to create a massive pool of really, really talented players.

Yes, it's taken a bit of time, but I think India now has...

a pool of players where they can have four different India sides.

And probably they'll all challenge every international side in the world.

And hence, you can see how Indian cricket has grown in the last four or five years and winning two back-to-back T20 World Cup.

It just shows you that the amount of money and time and effort has been invested in that.

I think the ball striking.

I know it for certain because when we were playing,

Our team goal would be to try and get to 160 to 170 and

8 out of 10 matches, you would win if you get 160, 170.

If you get 160, 170 now, you're losing 9 out of 10 games.

It's not enough, is it?

And the strike rate, even the batting strike rate, 125 was a very good strike rate.

It was acceptable.

130 was exceptional.

Now, if you're striking at 130, you're not getting picked in any of these IPL sites.

So that's how far the game has come.

That's how much the game has evolved in the last 5 or 7 years.

got to adapt you got to play all those shots otherwise yeah the competition is so much that it's very hard if you if you don't have the all-round game as a batter and even for the bad bowlers i would say they have come a long way the innovation we have seen in bowling the kind of deliveries they have come up with they've got like three or four different types of slower balls they've got so many different variations nowadays so i think there is a there's a massive opportunity for the bowlers to improve still because you look at somebody like jaspeet bumbra
