The introduction of the ‘Impact Player’ rule in the IPL 2023 has garnered a lot of attention since it was announced by the BCCI. In the opening match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, everyone was curious about how the teams would use it and who would be designated as the ‘impact players’. While teams are still figuring out how to best utilize this new rule, experts like Sunil Gavaskar and Harbhajan Singh have given it a thumbs up.
According to Gavaskar, it may take some time for teams to understand and acclimatize to this new rule. He believes that all ten teams in the TATA IPL 2023 will need some time to ace it. On the other hand, Harbhajan Singh praised the think tank in IPL for coming up with this innovative rule. He believes that it’s a very good rule as it allows teams to replace a player who is not suitable or has served their purpose with someone who can make an impact in the current playing conditions.
Overall, the ‘Impact Player’ rule has added a new dimension to the IPL 2023 and will be interesting to see how teams use it to their advantage.
