Wait till the tournament goes to second phase and pitches becomes rough then you will see real contest. For now its a highway of a pitch with nothing for bowlers.

Agreed, The Game is completely rigged in the batsman's favour. No longer a fair contest between Vat and Ball, feels like watching someone play a video game.

Ajinkya Rahane Reflects On KKR's Maiden Win Of IPL 2025
Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain):
"First six overs we bowled really well. Containing 40-44 runs and picking wickets. Middle overs were really crucial for us. That's what we discussed. Moeen Ali playing his first game, unfortunately Sunil Narine was not well. Moeen got his opportunity and bowled really well with Varun."
"This is a format you want your players to play fearless cricket, play with freedom and the batting unit that we have, they all are explosive batsmen. They have done this in the past for the team. It's all about giving them freedom and telling them to go out there and back themselves. Credit goes to our bowling unit. They were looking to take wickets especially Moeen Ali. Our conversation was 'I am looking for wickets.'
"[Brief given to Moeen] Complete freedom from our side. Moeen's a quality player. We all know that he has opened the innings in the past as well. So it was a perfect opportunity for him to go out and play his game. Really happy with the way he contributed with the ball."
"Challenge is about to staying in the moment. Every game is an opportunity for all of us to do well. If we win or lose, it's all about coming back in the next game and try and learn every time and take it forward."
