IPL brings massive wealth — but does it come at the cost of diminished national pride for teams outside the big 3? 🇿🇦🏏
ESPNcricinfo has learned that the same technology which was used to measure over-the-waist no-balls in IPL 2024 will be applied in the case of the over-the-head wides. Moreover, the wide guideline will move with the batter and Hawk-Eye technology will carry out the measurement automatically - both how much the batter has moved and how much the guideline moves

Heinrich Klaassen batting at 6. I can’t !
Yes, he’s the best in the world from overs 7-14, I agree, BUT imagine he’s got a base(10-15 off 10), and that’s exactly what the conventional number 3/4 does anyway, and then goes into that period with the death overs still to come.
At the moment other batters are setting the base, gets out and we expect Klaassen to just fire from the word go?! Not to mention that he bats with the tail more often than not when batting at 6. How does this make sense?
Been happening for a few years now and it’s so frustrating to watch. No offence to any Coach here, just my humble opinion. Please bat him at 3 on good wickets, and 4 on tricky wickets when u lose an early one. You’ll reap the rewards!
Match-winners should get the greatest opportunity to influence the game.
Yet we’ve seen:
•Klaasen at 7
•Stubbs/Bedingham at 6/7
•Brevis at 6
•Muller/Kartik at 6/7
