Star pacer Kagiso Rabada of Gujarat Titans voices his worries about cricket becoming unbalance because batting power keeps increasing in recent seasons. Rabada believes the start of IPL 2025 should not transform into a batsmen-biassed competition that unbalances the sport. Rabada’s worries come from the historic scoring milestones in recent IPL seasons after SRH scored 287 in their match last year and another side scored 286 against Rajasthan Royals during IPL 2025. Rabada requests cricket authorities to create a balance between bat and ball since teams now consistently achieve 300-run scores.
Kagiso Rabada Calls For Balance In Modern Cricket
South African cricketer Kagiso Rabada expressed his dissatisfaction with cricket becoming an unbalanced sport favouring batters since the classic nature of cricket disappeared according to him. For Rabada the baseball-bat balance needs to stay in perfect harmony because high-scoring games make cricket too predictable. Rabada worries that cricket may transform into an entertainment display for batting after current trends continue. According to Rabada the sport needs to advance forward but it should not transform into a constantly flat one-sided event. The enjoyment factor would diminish according to his belief.

According to Rabada breaking score records and high-scoring games create excitement yet he recognises that both low-scoring matches and high-scoring games play equal important roles in the sport. Seam bowling specialist Rabada believes that dramatic advantage to one side destroys the balance needed for competitive sport. Rabada told the reporters that if batting dominated cricket it should be renamed Batting instead of Cricket. The exciting run chases during matches bring him joy yet he stresses that balance needs to be preserved. As Rabada concluded the discussion he emphasised the requirement for keeping balance between the bat and ball elements of cricket.
