Gautam Gambhir calls on ICC to scrap this ‘very unfair’ rule

Gautam Gambhir has criticized the two new-ball rule in One Day Internationals as unfair and altering the game’s dynamics. Gambhir called on the ICC to eliminate the rule, which was adopted in October 2011 to maintain ball shine and minimize reverse swing. He argued that the rule unfairly disadvantages finger-spinners, affecting their participation in white-ball cricket.
