"A lot of fit players also bat and just sit down" - Former CSK star slams 'Impact Player' rule in the IPL
- The Impact Player rule introduced in 2023 allows fit players to bat and then sit out, leading to higher team scores and increased pressure on bowlers.
- This rule is not used in tournaments like the World Cup and has resulted in team totals exceeding 250 runs becoming common, reducing bowlers' effectiveness.
- Scores around 170, previously considered competitive, are now easily chased due to inflated match totals caused by the rule.
- Support has been expressed for the Board of Control for Cricket in India's ban on Indian players participating in overseas T20 leagues, citing the current global dominance of Indian cricket.
