Bhanuka Rajapaksa: Tremendous power-hitting has been seen from Indian batsmen in T20 cricket in recent times. Players like Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey continuously hit big shots, which makes their batting look different. Watching this game of Team India, Sri Lankan batsman Bhanuka Rajapaksa has given a shocking statement. Rajapaksa claims that the Indian team bats so powerfully because of the special bats.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa recently made a shocking claim during an interview, in which he raised questions about the bats of Indian batsmen. He has said that Indian players are using such special bats which are not available to the players of other teams and these bats are proving to be more powerful than the common bats. The bats of Indian batsmen are so advanced that it seems as if a layer of rubber has been applied over the bat.
In this interview, when Bhanuka Rajapaksa was asked how Indian batsmen have changed the game of power-hitting in international cricket.
Responding to this, Bhanuka Rajapaksa said, 'The bats that Indian players have are much better than the best bats available here. It seems as if a layer of rubber has been applied over them. I can't understand how this is possible. Others cannot even buy these bats, all the players know this. However, according to ICC rules, bats cannot be coated with anything.Team India has adopted power-hitting since the 2024 T20 World Cup. She tries to score runs at a fast pace in almost every match, and has even touched the figure of 250+ runs many times.
Apart from this, Team India is also at the forefront in terms of scoring 200+ runs most number of times. At the same time, the Indian team has also won the maximum number of matches.
