NEW DELHI: During the aftermath of Punjab Kings' historic run chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, KKR's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate emphasized the necessity for bowlers to adopt unconventional tactics in the face of aggressive batting strategies witnessed in the IPL.
Reflecting on the evolution of the game, Doeschate highlighted the seismic shift in batting paradigms, noting, "When you get past 160, you can almost pack your bag and feel you're going to win the game. Now, you need 160 before the 13th over to have a chance to get a big score."
