The ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League has witnessed some high-scoring encounters, low-scoring thrillers and some nail-biters at the best scene.
Meanwhile, the Lucknow pitch drew flak for its surface and it has produced low-scoring encounters in the current season, which didn’t do any good to the batting teams.
The majority of the fans have also felt it less entertaining since there was hardly any spark from the batters while playing on this surface. The spin-friendly conditions totally slowed down the pace and intensity of the game.
BCCI is set to renovate the Lucknow pitch after the IPL
Meanwhile, in the latest development, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to renovate the Lucknow pitch post the sixteenth edition of the IPL as they will be hosting the World Cup.
Basically the pitch renovation is done to create a consistent playing surface for cricket games, while also absolutely making sure that the pitch remains equally challenging for both batsmen and bowlers.
As per the Times of India report, the BCCI already sent a curator panel and made up their mind to renovate the pitch. However, it didn’t work properly as they had only 50 days before the start of sixteenth season of IPL.
The report further mentioned that Lucknow Super Giants were not too happy with the BCCI’s resolution and lacked clarity about the pitch conditions just before their first game against the Delhi Capitals.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants already lost their last three games at home. LSG literally failed to chase down the low-scoring totals against the likes of Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Recently. they locked horns with Chennai Super Kings in the home game in Lucknow. However, they failed to make use of the conditions to better effect as they could muster only 127/9 before the match was called off due to persistent showers.
Why? That would be a brilliant ODI pitch https://t.co/tpSjGg93hV
