BCCI Breaks Silence On 'Bat Check' Debate As Umpire Pulls Up KKR's Sunil Narine
Kolkata Knight Riders' Sunil Narine and Anrich Nortje became the first couple of players to be denied usage of their first-choice bats as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) intensifies its 'bat-check' regime. The KKR duo failed the gauge check during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Punjab Kings on Tuesday. A few other batters' bats were also checked, but only Narine and Nortje failed the test. IPL governor Arun Dhumal has broken his silence on the matter, asserting what the 'way forward' is going to be in the T20 league.
