The Impact Player Rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a matter of debate since its introduction in 2023. This rule allows teams to replace one of their players at any point during the match, which gives an advantage. However, it has been criticized by many former players and experts, assuming that it reduces the role of all-rounders and removes some enthusiasm.
“When it came out for the first time, I said one thing that the IPL is in such a good position, and there is a tongue to deliver a spice (there is no need to pursue it),” Dhoni Said on Jio Hotstar.
“The game was already quite high scoring, they were going well, the matches were quite competitive. We have often seen it in this format that the matches end in five overs-you lose a lot of wickets, fail to score the appropriate runs and the opposition easily win.
“If you lose some wickets early, you don't get out of the game more often. So, when this rule came, I felt that at this time did not require this time because TRP is up, the quality of cricket is good, good players were coming, but it was implemented in a way. It was not helping me because I am still not an impact player, I am not an impact player, I am not a player.
“In addition, some people are saying that the impact player has been scoring high, I think it is due to situations. The additional batsman gives you rest. It is not because of that additional batsman, you have scored a lot.”
