IPL 2024, Impact Player Rules: It is raining fours and sixes continuously in IPL 2024. Very big scores are being made this season. Till now, scores of more than 250 have been made many times. Now fast batting seems quite easy in IPL. However, many cricketers and former cricketers are blaming Impact Player as the reason for this. Just a few days ago Mohammad Siraj had demanded its removal. Now voice has been raised against it from the Lucknow camp.
Siraj had clearly demanded the abolition of the impact player rule. Rohit Sharma has also raised his voice against it. Now this has also been criticized by Lucknow Super Giants advisor and former Australian cricketer Adam Voges. Voges also believes that all-rounder players are being harmed by this rule.
The 'Impact' player rule was included in the IPL last season and there is a lot of debate going on about it this season, in which many players including Indian captain Rohit Sharma are calling it harmful for all-rounders. Adam Voges of Lucknow Super Giants also agrees with this and said that this rule is making cricket exciting but it is hurting all-rounder players.
The Australian legend said after the six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday night, “Big scores are being made in the tournament and strong batsmen for the team are coming out to bat at number seven or eight. Definitely. This has increased the excitement level of cricket, but it also reduces the role of all-rounders and their influence in the match. All-rounders always provide balance to the team and perhaps they are no longer so important with the 'impact sub'. “
When asked about comparison with the 'Power Surge' rule in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL), Voges said that it makes the match interesting and he likes this rule. While in IPL there is a powerplay of six overs at the beginning of the innings, in BBL there is a powerplay of four overs. He said, I like the rule of 'power surge' in our place. This makes the match a little interesting. While chasing the target, you never feel that you are out of the match, but we have also seen a lot of wickets falling during this period.
