Gambhir has the balls to speak out and most of the times hes right. The game right now is biased against bowlers.
But not in predictions 🤣🤣🤣

Well said gautam sir,
It's totally batting Era now. nobody wants to become bowlers nowadays
Gautam Gambhir is back..
This is the GG people want to listen to...
An absolute gem...on point and exudes grace and wisdom....!!
This guy knows more than a lot about the game.
✍️🙌✌️⭐
Totally agreed with GG comments. Shame on ICC to turn a blind eye on PITCH standards across the world. Pitch should favour both batsman and bowler !
Thanks to Sportskeeda 😀( interesting name) for bringing this series in bits 🙏👌
Get back minimum 75m boundaries. One new ball. Remove switch hit and reduce power play. Also regulate bat size. The lighter and much bigger bats due to modern technology has been the biggest factor in creating imbalance between bat and ball.
Batsmens can pick any bat of any brand but bowlers cant pick which kind of ball they want.. funny strange rules
@@mayura5 one ball is better as it reverse swings and is harder to hit when old. Spinners can turn the ball then.
@@Godplayzdice agree.. allow 5 fielders outside 30 yard circle..

Mentality changes.. Mindset changes.. Skill changes.. Demand changes.. Not fully against two new ball as this rule cause balance the luck effect of toss.. But there are so many unfair rules in modern cricket against bowler in the term of entertainment.. Flat pitches, powerplay, very very short format of game, short boundaries 😕.. Need rule for the side of bowlers too😕
powerplay is good but two new balls ruins the reverse swing, and flat pitches are so bad

@@leederzubair2747 how conditions can be made for fast bowlers in asian conditions ? Are u out of your mind 🤣🤣🤣? Except dharmshala all pitches in india are either flat or spin friendly like chennai,delhi,lucknow ,eden gardens
That is the reason why sachin is better batsman than virat.
Sachin made 49 centuries in hardest conditions against world-class bowlers.
Now a days it's one sided game. It has became complete batsmans game now.
Not only bowlers boundaries were bigger and bats were smaller plus there were no fielding restrictions
Sachin was different beast ❤
The thing is majority of cricket fans are casual fans and they want to see lots of boundaries and a game dominated by Batsman. So it's businesses driven decision to favour Batsman in limited over cricket.
I've been saying this to my friends/family for years, ever since the 2015 Australia World Cup. Finally, the legends are making the same point on Media, and there's hope that we might witness a change.
Same here mate😢. I enjoyed the 2013 odi series of IND aus cause it was new we got 300 in every match. But from 2015 wc onwards I saw this was happening continuosly and I didn't enjoyed it that much. These flat pitches series can be good if it is done once or twice in 3-4 yrs but....😢😢
Sachin, ponting ke time me itna flat pitch nahi Hua karti thi isliye us samay batting karna mushkil tha
😂 aur aaj kal ke log Sachin se compare karte hai 😂
Agr iss time m viv richards hota to pure india aur pure world m uski puja hoti. Ek baar search kro viv richards six compilation. Patle se bat se bina helmet ke jeff thompson jaise bowlers ko khela krta tha aur 80m plus chakke marta tha patle bat se. Aaj ke time m hota toh khood pelta in soo called great bowlers ko. Even wasim akram said viv richards hands down the goat. Itne mote bats se to vo ball hi sidha orbit ke bahar bhej deta.
Lekin bhai sachin aur ponting ne jyada cricket late 90s aur early 2000s me khela h tabse flat wicket ka trend start hua tha to sachin ne bhi jyada cricket flat wicket par khela h
@@MdsalamMd-cx1wc bhai itna flat pitch nahi tha aap 🤔 score ko hi dekh lo aaj kal har match me 300+ banna jaruri hai aur 2011 ke pehle ke score dekho
Bhai vo t20 cricket ki vajah se hua h nhi to flat wicket sachin ke time me bhi thi aur abhi bhi sachin ke time flat wicket par bhi india aggressive batting nhi karti thi mostly lekin jabse t20 aya h sare indian players aggersive khelte h flat pitch par
@@MdsalamMd-cx1wc bhai match me bowling se hi pata chal jata hai ok
Pehle swing bhi kitni hoti aur jab ball purani ho jaaye to phir reverse swing hoti thi aur aaj kal reverse swing ko koi janta bhi nahi
Short boundaries should be abolished. At least 3 -4 fielders should be allowed outside the ring during the power plays. Bowlers will have more chances to get wickets
How dare you Gambhir, how can you speak the truth. Let the delusional Indian cricket fans enjoy their favourite top order batsman's centuries and worship them as king 🤬
Ghar mein chule nhi jal rhe aur beta baithke King King kr raha hai.
Hero worshipping of top batsmen & their personal milestone has been a characteristic of Indian fans since the days of Gavaskar then Sachin, now Kohli, then will someone else in future. It didn't start in recent times.
Let's not delude the public here about what always has been the nature of fans.
@@elamcyrilgavaskar and Sachin didn't play in batting friendly conditions plus India was very weak team there were one man army so there is a certain level of appreciation for them
@@nikhilhembrom8952
There were a lot of flat road pitches during 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s too hence why more than half the test matches used to end up in draws so much so that 4th innings didn't used to come most of the time. Especially test match pitches in Subcontinent used to flat as road, compared to today where it is way more tuners & rank turners. It's the limited over pitches that have flatter over the period.
Weak team? Gavasker played with the likes of Gundappa Viswanath, Vengsakar, Amarnath etc, Sachin played with freakin Dravid, Azhar, Sehwag, Laxman etc.
Who the hell does Kohli play with in last 10-12 yrs that are better than these all time Indian greats? Freakin Rahane? With a test average of 38(lowest for any pure Indian batter with 80+ test). pujara? A test average of 43, Rohit who was a failure in test till 2019? Shreyas Iyer? KL Rahul? These are the mighty strong players Virat gets the advantage of playing with in his time over what Gavaskar & Sachin played? Come on. This is just nostalgia, nothing more, Kohli has carried Indian batting for more than 12+ yr now in all the 3 formats of the game with extreme pressure & expectations of jim, he deserves the praises as those guys got.
England world cup was much more competitive. Good bowlers and decent size boundaries.
Tatti world Cup tha wo.. Poora tournament mein ek final ko chodd ke saare Match bekaar the..
India kuch bhi krle tum gandu logo ko har cheez se problem hoti hai
These rules r just killing ODIs...
I am okay with the 1st 10 over and last 10 overs but the middle overs r hell for bowlers....
And there should be 1 new ball....
Its true.earlier one player somehow able to score century and teams scores 280 on their good days.
People were criticising Ahemdabad's Final Pitch saying that it couldn't produce a high score. But cricket is not a game of high scores. Is it important to have 400+ scores always? It is a game of bat and 'BALL'.
2 new balls was introduced to help new ball bowlers swing more. 5 fielders insiders was introduced to try to cut easy singles cos captains were just letting the game drift. Both have proved counter productive. Basically need sporting wickets
Not to hate on anyone, but the pitches used in the World Cup were atrocious. There was no variation at all. Only in some stadiums like Eden gardens, there was spin and I can't remember else where. The pitches were flat.
Fact 🔥
Bahut sahi vartalap hai. Uchit samay hai kam se kam reverse swing ko punahjeevit karne ka.
most enjoying games are those where chasing 230 becomes tough
That's the reason you get respect only when u score in England and Australia.
First Of All Reduced T20 From Bilaterals Just Play Only Test And ODI Cricket Bring Back One Ball Again 5 Fielders Outside Circle Increase The Weight Of The Ball From 156Gm To 175Gm With More Pronounced Seam Sporting Pitches That Will Help Bowler And Batsman Both Increase Boundaries To 75Meters
Totally Agree with Gautam Gambhir
no real cricket seen in ODI cricket these days
क्रिकेट इतना भी बुरा नहीं हुआ है कई मैच लास्ट तक फंस जाते है ❤❤
The only area where India matched Australia in the wc final was the top 5 batsman. The rest of the department's like fielding, allrounders and middle order batting was easily dominated by Australia. End of the day Australia were a far better overall team when compared with India. That's why they deserved to win the wc.
Ya we really need to do something about it
I agree 100% with Gautam Gambhir.
This is gauti...bro.
Yes rules need to be changed and reviewed ,, it's 80 /20 now
If bats have modernized then modernize balls also to make it difficult to hit.
Otherwise bring back reverse swing bowling by bowling with 1 ball
Reduce the time of ODIs
Make them total length of 400-450 mins
Put extreme restrictions on the time because people get bored while watching middle overs which are obscurely long
Introduction of 4th powerplay could be done where only 2 fielders can be kept inside the circle this would make long range hitting a lot tough.
Also make sure that least boundary length is 70m no need of 60-70 m boundaries
The bats and protein shakes these days allow players to have muscle enough to hit a mini 80 m six
If six goes over 100 m give it 8 or 10 runs because according to field restrictions mentioned above long range hitting would be risky and a guy hitting it over 100 should be rewarded appropriately.
Gambhir really loves the game of cricket.
That s why Gavaskar s single century=Kohli s 50 Centuries..
loda bc, mtlb kch bhi, tum logo ki etni gaand kyu jlti h kohli se? bolne ko rohit ki century ya dohoni ki 50 bhi bol skta tha
What a load of nonsense, Gavaskar was a mediocre ODI batsman even for his era, he simply didn't have the game for ODI cricket, Kohli is a better ODI batsman than Gavaskar ever was. Kohli didn't purposefully throw a match away by scoring 36 run in 60 freaking over chasing 336, didn't even trying to win just because he was pissy about playing ODI cricket in 1975 world cup, Gavaskar did that. Nostalgia is riding too much here.
@@elamcyrilyes I agree with you but gavaskar time odi have only started plus everyone played it like tests only Viv Richards was aggressive batsmen in that era
@@nikhilhembrom8952
It's not just Viv, many top batters of Gavaskar's generation played ODI much better than him, be it Clive Lloyd, Greg Chappell, Zaheer Abbas, Border etc.
Gavasker just wasn't a good ODI batter, hence this kind of stupid comments of Original commentator is ridiculous on so many level just to discredit someone like Kohli.
They do understand bowlers and bowling Mr Gambhir but they also understand what public likes to watch. That is why they changed the game.
I don't know about you ,but I like low scoring thrillers than high scoring one sided matches. The most memorable matches in the World cup were low scoring. India vs Australia , Australia vs Afghanistan, etc.
I agree with gambir but the prob is viewership, the new generation who has been introduced to cricket via ipl, they won’t watch the 50 over match if they don’t see many fours and sixes, hence rhe broadcasters won’t earn money, and we know the sad reality that trends follow money
no that's your assumption, why people on austration and england watch test matches then? agar unko shuru se hi hero worship or cricket mtlb 6 or 4 h ye sikhaoge to yhi hoga
@@mittusharma3824Australia vs England ki rivalry is equivalent to India vs Pak.
Ussi rivalry k liye dekhte Hain woh log.
Warna cricket is like 4th popular sports in both countries.
Not that many people watch cricket.
2:10 for the first time in my entire life, I agree with Gambhir.
Either you be Shami to bowl right at the stumps or get ready to recieve the thrashing. Simple ! so much as the batting has prospered over the years, bowlers getting on top of the game is becoming a rare sight & batsmen dominating ODIs & T20s is becoming sore-eye now 😢
All these batting oriented experiments should be limited to the T20s only, where this insanity of shots and boundaries are expected, ODIs and Test matches should retain their originality and incentive to become great bowlers should remain there for the bowlers too!
Its like bowlers are bollywood villains. Where the cricket will go.
Very bad - need to get back 1 ball rule - get back reverse swing - finger spin - part time bowlers - Gambhir is right - they have screwed up everything im ODI
Finally someone said this. Fielder restriction for full 50 overs should be removed
This is why Sachin is better than Virat
That's why Gavaskar is greater than Sachin, Right brother?
Viv richards is the real god. I want sachin to grab a thin bat from the 80s and clear the 80m boundary. Then will see whos the best
Akram also said viv richards was hands down the best. Agar aaj ke time hota toh har ball six maarta itne mote bats se aur boundary bhi 70m hoti h 😂 aaj kal. Bina helmet ke jeff thompson ko khelna. Uss time ke pace bowlers ko bina helmet ke khela aur boundary clear krna.
no question about that.universal truth.
@@cricketgaming4817yeah

Last part😂😂
Make ODI 40 overs with One ball. That’s the only way ODI can be made interesting.
Its actually getting boring to see 300+ being scored almost every match.

There needs to be changes as soon as possible.
Pehle ke time mostly batters risk hi nahi lete the almost sabhi tuk tuk khelte the aaj ke time me batsman ko risk lena hi padta h bade shots khelne ke liye 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Viv richards ki batting dekho jara. Sachin aur virat ko god bolte h. In dono ko patle bat do aur kaho 80m boundary clear kre bina helmet pehne fir mante h god of cricket. Asli god of cricket viv richards h but because he is non indian he isnt celebrate. Jeff thompson ko bina helmet khelta tha aur chakke marta tha patle se bat se 80m boundry clear krta tha. Agar aaj hota toh pkaa 50,000 runs hote.
Still most times team got bowled out before 50 overs..
Cricket will soon reduce to IPL and Ashes.. rest all will be local T20 leagues.
Icc ki dene hai icc ne kaha hai ki har match me 400 wali pitch honi chahiye warna demerit point milenge to koi kya kar skt hai warna 350 max hona chahiye
ek baar me pura interview kyon nhi daal dete
Ashesh❤
Their should be at least 3 fielders on the boundary in ppl and boundaries sizes should be min 70 m in all sides not only one or two sides
GG Bhai tum agar iss era ka hotey to ye kehte?
Hat's of Gauti
All those interesting matches happen with only Australia irrespective of opponent
Its not about rules to be honest.
Make bowling favourite pitches
With the same rules we saw aus vs sa
Ind vs aus
Both matches were low scoring battles
Rules also makes difference abolish field restrictions the score will drop from average 320 to 260
Australia total 8 centuries
Make 6s into 3s and 4s into 2s
Brain-dead
DRS is the best thing ever happened to Cricket
Cricket is now a just batsman gane
Yes it's tough. But here's my take.
See it's international match.
Means you have the best players of the world playing.
Yes I repeat the rules are in favour of batsmen and only will happen more.
But here's the take.
This also means 5 players inside circle so it's an attacking bowlers field. If I am an attacking bowler and a good accurate one, I love batsmen hitting me.
Sorry to be harsh but I want bowlers to be too good.
We have batsmen improving generation by generation while bowling quality has come down every generation. This is true as well.
Then today bowlers too have the support staff, the coach, the fitness coach, the dietician, the bowling academies, the video analyst, but inspite this i honestly don't see any bowler bowling with purpose. It's ok to get hit by batsmen but it should be because the bowler forced the batsmen to hit.
However today batsmen just love hitting no respect or fear. Is this because of ONLY rules in favour of batsmen. I dare these batsmen do the same against the fast bowling greats we have seen. Get it.
Like this I can go on.
Only one point to end the argument batsmen just has one chance. Bowler has 6 balls every over.
Tell me 6 attempts a over, 60 attempts in a match, can't bowler succeed minimum 6% every match. I know it's tough but why bowler Don't have this superb mentality is my question.
End of the day, cricket is a mind game. At least this should ring a bell. Batsmen hitting more means giving more chances to bowlers. Atleast 5 out of 10 matches bowl, prepare and execute like this. See what happens. Batsmen needs to make only one error.
Leg byes and byes should be abolished. wides down the leg side should be same like wides on the offside.
That's why quality cricket has been finished. Uneven game no one wants to be a bowler...
Now people understand how kohli score very fast in low innings compare to sachin. Sachin played that in rule
Free hit should immediately be removed. No point to pay again on the next ball.
Still No match lasted for 100 overs 😅😅
Umpires call should be removed first, without thinking much about it.
Please let Akram speak!
Cricket is only for Batsman
Australia team has 8 centuries not 6.
Maxwell 2 centuries
Warner 2 centuries
Marsh 2 centuries and
Head 2 centuries
If it continues, in another 15 years King Kohli's personal records will be broken.
India hai isliye run hai. Australia hota to h
Bcci. Is main villain.
Thats why Starc, Shami, Bumrah, Rabada, Boult, Hazlewood greater than Wasim, Shoiab, Waqar, Mc grath
Because todays time bowling is difficult 😊😊🤔🤔🤔✅✅✅💯💯💯
Stop talking rubbish because In the 90s and 2000s every team had legendary players the batsmen in them days were way better then nowadays they say to be the best you have to face the toughest players or even teams. Just don’t mention shoaib akhtar this era he would have got banned due to his Bowling action and muralitharan as well

Free hit is a shit rule. It's almost racist if bowlers and batsmen were different races. Give 4 runs for free if bowler bowls no ball. Free hit is just demoralising.

I criticise the nature of pitch, if you win the toss you will win if you are somewhat sure of the upcoming weather change later in night... Everyone knew if their was dew on final it was best to win the toss and bat later. It was the toss that decided the game as offcourse both the teams that have reached wc final would surely be good enough to be their. Indian pitches suck and bcci or icc even more that keep going with these day night matches fully aware of conditions of our pitches, weather and keep betting the emotions of billions on a mere chance and for what , so they could sell their tv rights at a higher price. Let's be real here, the final was on Sunday, day night, in narender modi stadium, what was it for, if not selling it for manipulating the Indians to watch the match and make it nationalistic so people will watch. Did bcci really care who won the final, nope, they are happy with their fat purse, it's us, Indians who lost and not just the team but us
