Summary:
Kolkata, April 21Having lost a rain-truncated game to Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik on Saturday wished the current Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) rain-rule method was replaced by Jaydevan (VJD) method. Chasing a stiff 192, Kings XI Punjab were 96 for no loss in 8.2 overs, with a required run rate well in excess of eight runs. The IPL is played under ICC’s Playing Conditions with DLS being the recognised system but Karthik feels BCCI should use Jayadevan rule which is known as VJD. “I have always thought that the VJD is an Indian method and it’s an Indian domestic tournament, why not think about it?” he asked. Why not think about VJD here and promote it?” — PTI.
