Bowlers a max of 5 overs not four, 3. Pitch must = day 4 test match pitch & not be a flat rd, As we all want a contest between bat & ball, not just 6’s”

Shane Warne is currently serving as Rajasthan Royals’ mentor
Seeing the suggestions of legendary bowler, the improvisations are in favour of a bowler. Also, if these changes are ever taken into consideration, the batsmen would have a tough time hitting big shots against bowlers. Five overs to a bowler will ensure that if a bowler is having a fine day, he can step up for one more in order to boost the performance of his team.
Talking about Warne’s journey in the biggest T20 league of the world that is the Indian Premier League, he remained an integral part of Rajasthan Royals’ from 2008-2011. The inaugural season of the IPL saw Royals lifting up the trophy under the able guidance of Shane Warne, and it is their only trophy in 12 years. In 55 IPL matches he played in his IPL career, he scalped 57 wickets with an economy of 7.27.
