5 Reasons Why Cricket has become a Batsman's Game

2. The Indian Premier League:

The Indian Premier League came into existence in 2008. It is one of the key factors why the present day batsmen have resorted to the hit out or get out mindset. The compressed form of the game is the shortest of all the three and hence batters have to amass as many runs as possible in a matter of just 120 deliveries. The million dollar league showered huge amount of cash on the players and hence players were compelled to prove their worth and as a result they had to whack every ball virtually. There is very little margin of error for the bowlers these days and this new trend of the batsman’s game seems good to continue for a long time.
