Should the IPL do away with the four overseas players rule?

Can see the arguments either way but with the likes of Trent Boult, Guptil, Corey Anderson and, usually, Travis Head sat on the bench will the international viewers of IPL start to dip away?

If it happened, teams would likely just pick two bowlers and bowl them through the entire imnings.

Might be more practical to end restrictions in the 50 over game.

I think you misread the question...

Bugger. It was late at night. I think we've done the bowlers thing before.

As for the OP question....No.

Can't completely do away with restrictions but would allow 5 overseas players instead of 4.

No. I think the majority of the team should be Indian, And 6:5 is too close.

The IPL is about putting on a show. There's little doubt that all of the teams could strengthen their teams by playing another overseas player, so why not.
