I Don’t Like The Impact Player Rule: Axar
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel said he is personally not in favour of the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that it reduces the role of all-rounders in the ten-team tournament, whose 19th edition starts on March 28.
The Impact Player rule, introduced in 2023, allows all ten IPL teams to substitute either a batter or bowler in any innings of the match. "I don't like this rule, honestly, because I am an all-rounder. Earlier, you would pick an allrounder for batting and bowling.
"But because of this rule, the team management goes for a particular batsman or bowler, thinking 'Why do we need an allrounder?' Since I am an allrounder, I don't like the rule. At the same time, rules are rules and we need to follow them. From a personal point of view though, I don't like the rule," said Axar in a pre-season press conference on Monday.
