“You need to advance with the times – Shastri, Ashwin back Impact Player. You saw the quantity of tight completes we had in last year’s IPL. In this way, you know, it has had a major effect.”
Shastri, Ashwin backs Impact Player
The Impact Player rule in the IPL has not gone down excessively well for certain ongoing players and mentors, yet previous India mentor Ravi Shastri is supportive of it, saying it has added to various exciting completions.
“The Impact Player [rule] is great. You need to advance with the times,” Shastri told R Ashwin on his Youtube channel. “You know, it occurs in different games also. It has more tight wraps up. You need to develop with the times and I believe it’s a decent rule. You saw the quantity of tight completes we had in last year’s IPL. In this way, you know, it has had a major effect.”

While some – like India skipper Rohit Sharma – feel that the standard is unfavorable to the improvement of allrounders, Ashwin referred to the case of Dhruv Jurel, who started his IPL vocation as an Impact Player in IPL 2023 and went on to make his Test debut for India soon.
“You know when any new rule comes in, will be there ASAP… individuals will attempt to legitimize why that is not right,” Shastri said. “In any case, in time when you see the scores – 200 and 190 – and afterward like you referenced people snatching that open door and capitalizing on it, individuals will begin re-taking a gander at their opinion on it.”
Shastri’s advice to bowlers in the IPL
Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, said last week that the Impact Player rule is “not extremely durable” and that an approach to its utilization in resulting versions of the IPL will be taken after a conversation with partners after the 2024 T20 World Cup.
“Impact Player resembles an experiment. We have executed it gradually. Its greatest benefit is that two Indian players are getting an opportunity [in each game], which is the main,” Shah had told columnists at the BCCI central command in Mumbai on Thursday. “We will talk with the players, establishments, telecasters [and take a call]. This isn’t long-lasting [but] I’m not saying that it will go.
“[We’ll see] in the event that it’s making the game more aggressive or not. And still, at the end of the day, on the off chance that a player feels that this isn’t correct, then, at that point, we will converse with them. However, nobody has let us know anything yet, so it will be chosen after the World Cup.”
Rohit was the main high-profile Indian player to reprimand the standard, which came into the IPL in 2023 in the wake of being tested in the homegrown Syed Mushtaq Ali Prize T20 competition, permitting groups to get a twelfth player anytime in a match to supplant a player from the first XI declared at the throw. This is a bit opposite to what Shastri advocated recently.
