'I think it should be taken out': Rahane joins calls to abolish Impact Player rule
Ajinkya Rahane has raised significant concerns regarding the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League. He argues that this rule stifles the development of all-rounders in Indian cricket, restricting their vital opportunities on the field. Although some teams have exploited this rule for higher scores, it diminishes the role of bowlers and all-rounders.
Former India cricketer and IPL captain Ajinkya Rahane has criticized the impact player rule in the Indian Premier League, stating it is hurting the development of all-rounders in Indian cricket. According to Rahane, the rule should be scrapped as it reduces the growth of all-rounders in the sport. The current rule, set to remain in place until 2027, has franchises preferring to replace batters with bowlers or vice versa to secure the best possible result with the bat or the ball.
This trend has led to a scarcity of all-rounders, especially fast-bowling all-rounders, in the sport. Rahane emphasized the importance of all-rounders for the Indian team and called for the impact player rule to be eliminated to give more opportunities to bowlers and ensure all-rounders are fully involved in games.
