IPL 2024: Impact Player Rule Is Affecting The Progress Of Half All-rounders, Says Zaheer Khan
Zaheer Khan: Hours after India skipper Rohit Sharma said the impact player rule is affecting the development of all-rounders in IPL, former left-arm fast-bowler Zaheer Khan echoed his views in the same vein, pointing out that it is affecting the progress of ‘half all-rounders’ in the game.
The impact player ruling was introduced in IPL 2023 and it allows all ten teams to bring in a player from the five nominated substitutes at any point in a match to replace a player in the playing eleven once the game begins. But the ruling has meant that many all-rounders like Shivam Dube haven’t been able to get a chance to bowl.
“In the all-rounder aspect of things, I completely agree with Rohit on that front as because of the impact sub, you can make do with not having the luxury of an all-rounder. You can have a complete bowler used as an impact sub and create that balance. That aspect is debatable for sure, and there are rising concerns on that front.”
