Trent Boult believes MI will breach the 300-plus mark
MI pacer, Boult, thinks that they will shatter this record for the first time in the history of IPL. While the scoreline might suggest a disastrous day for the bowlers, Boult chooses to focus on the positives from a bowler's point of view.
Sharing on the same, Boult, while speaking on JioHotstar's special series, said, "No doubt, a 300-plus score will be reached this tournament. The ball seems to be travelling further, though I'd like to believe it's still swinging in some parts of the country."

From a bowling point of view, it creates opportunities when the batsmen are coming hard, which is a positive thing, as per Boult. He went on to say that if the team focuses on being accurate and aggressive, then it can give it a real crack; the bowlers will have their day at some point.
"That's what fans want to see, and I'm sure there'll be plenty watching," he added.
