What is an Impact Player
According to the rule, the captain will walk out for the toss with two team sheets. Instead of exchanging the sheets before the toss, the captains will choose which one is that they want to go with after the toss is done, which means they will be able to choose their team based on whether they are batting or bowling first. Additionally, while the captain only named a 12th man in the team sheet earlier, now they can name five substitute players, one of whom would be designated as the Impact Player and will be allowed to take part in the game.
IPL needs to take away the impact player rule, as it’s not encouraging the all-rounders to bowl much and lack of allrounder and batters not bowling is a major area of concern for Indian cricket as we are already struggling for proper seeming all-rounder for longer format of the game.
These are the same stats of Indian all rounders we are looking for the upcoming twenty -20 world cup2024.
