Impact Player rule: The Impact Player rule has become a topic of discussion due to the continuous high-scoring matches in IPL 2024. Many experts and players believe that because of this rule the batsmen are playing fearlessly and look to hit big shots from the very first ball. Recently many players criticized this rule, which also includes the name of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. At the same time, now veteran batsman Virat Kohli is also seen opposing this rule and he has also supported the statement given by Rohit regarding this.

In fact, due to the impact player rule, most teams look to strengthen their batting and even if wickets fall early, they do not face as many problems due to having an extra batsman. For this reason, most of the batsmen look to score runs quickly and problems increase for the bowlers, while the role of all-rounder players has also reduced.

Virat further said that it is because of an extra batsman that he is able to bat at a strike rate of 200 this season. He said, “I am telling you, with an extra batsman there is a reason why I am playing with a strike rate over 200 in the powerplay. I know there is a batsman waiting to bat at number eight. It has “The balance has been thrown off and a lot of people are feeling that way, not just me.”
