IPL 2024: Ravi Shastri jumped into the debate about Impact Player rule, said this big thing

Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has also jumped into the debate of the impact player rule and has supported this rule. According to Shastri, due to the impact player rule, many exciting match finishes have been seen in IPL. The Impact Player rule has played a major role in making big scores in IPL 2024. Captain Rohit Sharma of India, though, objected to this regulation. The all-rounder's ability is being destroyed, he claimed.

The first athlete to publicly oppose this rule was Indian captain Rohit. Commencing with the 2022 season was the Impact Player rule. The Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament was where it was first used. The 12th player on the team may be kept as an impact substitute under this rule. Any player who is not in the playing 11 can be replaced by an impact substitute, and teams are required to turn in a list of their impact players before the toss.

Shastri said on the YouTube channel with Ravichandran Ashwin, the impact player rule is good. You have to move with time. This happens in other sports also. This resulted in exciting finishes. You see how many exciting finishes we got last year, it has made a difference. When a new rule comes, some people are trying to figure out how to prove it wrong, but when you see scores of 190-200 being made continuously and people getting opportunities, then you are forced to think about the rule. Let's go.

Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah said that the Impact Player rule is not permanent and it is possible to reconsider it in the future. Shah had said that the impact player rule was implemented as an experiment. However, this is giving additional opportunity to two Indian players to play. Isn't it important? The game is also becoming more competitive. If the players and the franchise feel that this is not right then we will talk about it. No one has said anything like this yet. It will be decided in the meeting after the IPL and T20 World Cup. This is not a permanent rule and I am not saying that we will abolish it. Shah also said that the Indian players going to play in the T20 World Cup do not need rest as match practice is the best preparation.
