Lack of fear factor in batters resulting in higher Power Play scores: Parthiv Patel
AHMEDABAD: (Mar 28) Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Parthiv Patel on Friday said the lack of "fear factor" in batters has resulted in raising the Power Play score "benchmark" in the Indian Premier League.
Recalling that 45 was the ideal Power Play score for IPL teams during his playing days, the former India wicketkeeper-batter Patel said sidearm throw specialists have also helped the batters adjust to the pace.
“There is no doubt about that. That planning has gone (high). I mean, in the first year when I started opening, our thinking was (to score) 45 runs; if we get 45 for one, it will be a good power play (score),” Patel told the media here ahead of GT’s clash against Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
