“BCCI Would Like To Have A Little Bit Of Control Over It”: Sanjay Bangar On IPL Pitch Conditions

The former Indian striker Sanjay Bangar thought that even if the franchises should have their say in the preparation of the height, the BCCI should maintain a degree of control in the Indian Premier League to ensure equity and prevent extreme imbalances in the game. While speaking of the IPL of Espncricinfo, Time Out, said that everything Regional, a certain uniformity is necessary to prevent home teams from having too many advantages. “I think BCCI would always like to have a little control over him and maintain the characteristics of a particular surface. If you give it completely to the hands of the franchise, you don’t really want the game to be too unbalanced, so I think [of having] A little uniformity in which not having too much word to say for the local team, there is always enough variety in terms of vast nature of our country where cricket is played throughout the country, in itself, variations in terms of red soil, black soil and all this. I am of the opinion that a little management or directive is always better. “Sanjay Bangar said by speaking in the IPL program of Espncricinfo, Time Out.

Bangar proposed that it is more difficult for teams to develop land with various characteristics in smaller sites such as the Minnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where only the two locations in the center are used for IPL matches.

“In RCB, Chinnaswamy, there are only two locations on which you can play games because of the soil size, and generally, you cannot have a lot of variation [between] These two surfaces because it is practically impossible to do so, “he added.

These are key discussion points during the first weeks of IPL 2025. Kolkata head coach Knight Riders, Chandrakant Pandit, said that his team had a minimum influence or no influence on the preparation of heights in Eden Gardens.

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has rejected the idea that his team has a considerable advantage in Chepauk, noting that they have had difficulty interpreting their land in recent seasons. After the defeat of his team against the kings of Punjab, the mentor of the Super Giants of Lucknow, Zaheer Khan, said that the field of Ekana seemed to be prepared by the conservative of the opposing team.
