IPL 2024: Impact Player Rule Has Definitely Worked, Says Mithali Raj On Soaring Run-rate In Competition
Star Sports Press Room: When the Impact Player rule was introduced in the 2023 Indian Premier League, it meant that teams, though taking their own time to understand the dynamics of the ruling, would be able to avail the use of an extra batting option whenever needed.
In IPL 2024, it has certainly been the case, with teams being able to use the ruling to get another batter in and push up the scoring rate, which is leading to some unprecedented heights being reached from a batting point of view.
As per statistics from Cricket-21, there have been 487 sixes hit so far till Match 29 of IPL 2024, with the average sixes hit in a match being 17 and a six being hit in every 14 balls. So far, 10468 runs have been made in the competition, with the run rate at a high 9.3.
