New Delhi, To make the Indian Premier League (IPL) exciting, the ‘Impact Player Rule’ has been implemented in the upcoming season. Almost every team is using it. The Impact Player rule was implemented for the first time in the year 2023. It has been more than 2 years since this rule was introduced in IPL. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has said that I am not a fan of the impact player rule.
Rohit Sharma said during an interview, “I am not a big fan of the impact player rule. To be honest, if we look at the aspect of cricket, I can give you many examples. Like players like Shivam Dubey and Washington Sundar are not able to bowl. Which is not a good thing for us. There are 12 players, this is a little entertainment. “This gives us more options.”
