With every season of IPL, it is actually getting better and more entertaining. While the teams are doing their best, broadcasters are also not leaving any stone unturned in giving an impeccable impression to viewers.
After impressing everyone with the amazing IPL scorecard template they launched last year, broadcasters have come up with an interesting ticker just below the score.
Ever wondered what it means? You sure would’ve. But today, we are going to answer that question.
Meaning of the Ticker below scores in IPL 10
So if you’ve ever noticed the ticker closely you might have seen that it appears only in the second half of the match when a team is chasing the target.
The ticker as you have already seen has three colours, Red, Yellow & Green. Recently, when Mumbai Indians were well chasing the huge target of 230, Danny Morrison commented that the ticker should now be on its ideal side i.e green.
This clearly tells that the ticker defines the current risk state of the chasing team considering the required and current run rate. So, if the required run rate is 10 runs per over but the team is playing at 6 runs per over, the ticker will be red and if they are playing above the required run rate it will be green.
The number of red bars or green bars depends on the magnitude of deviation from the required run-rate. The number of bars keeps on fluctuating at different point of time in the game. Therefore, there is a big change in the ticker whenever there is boundary hit or there are a number of dot balls.
Well, isn’t that interesting? We are looking forward to witnessing more amazing viewers experience. Exciting times ahead. Do you agree?
