To tell the truth, i am not a big fan of impact player rule. I was never a fan of DH (baseball reference). So i am as conservative as it comes.Rajkumar Sharma wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 4:19 am Bouncers & wide in DRS are atleast better then nonsense sub rule as it does'nt change the dynamics of the game. Sub rule is just use for entertainment, money, protect the game from being one sided by issuing a extra talent for last time in the game, only a fool will ask to put it in ICC. If it had purpose then other boards who have started experimenting their leagues before IPL should have adopted earlier.Once Kohli wanted Eliminator & Play off rule of IPL after 2019 WC defeat but it appeared to be foolish.
It is a serious question for BCCI. Having different rules at IPL and the ICC tournaments does have some impact. Is it all negative? Does it advance the talent level of players? Batsman now have to face primarily bowlers than bits and pieces player who can bowl a bit. Is that better gauge both the performance of batsman and bowler?
Is it possible that by not having the need for that all rounder, teams will no longer prioritize giving opportunities to all rounder who may have that promise, but has not realized it? I would anticipate that even with five full time bowlers, another player who can bowl a over or two is absolutely essential in this IPL world. Or has the pendulum so far to batsman side that part time bowlers are no longer a threat and plus, but a negative? I remember some comments from team mgmt once about how the part time bowlers are no longer having the impact
How do teams decide who to sub out? I see teams like CSK sub out Dube who can bowl if their main bowlers get hit. But they strangely seem to not even give that opportunity. He had a fantastic ranji season with ball as well. Is it because they are using analytics that clearly highlights he is such a liability on field that it overpowers any advantage he may give with the ball?
