Former India opener Gautam Gambhir on Friday urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to revisit the two new-ball rule in limited over formats, and the World Cup-winner termed it as "unfair" to finger spinners. The ICC had implemented the particular rule in ODIs in October 2011, something the legendary Sachin Tendulkar had rated as "perfect recipe for disaster." "One thing I would definitely change is the use of two new balls, especially in white-ball cricket," Gambhir said during the 'Rise to Leadership' talk show by the Indian Chamber of Commerce. The stipulation to use two new balls, several experts felt, has disadvantaged finger spinners and reduced the chances of reverse swing as it helps the ball to retain the shine.
