Teams are allowed to replace one player from the starting 11 at any time during the game under this rule, which was put into place last season. This season, it has been crucial in raising totals as teams have unleashed their batters early in the innings with the assurance that they may add more firepower if necessary.
“The impact player rule was in place last year, but we didn’t see such high scores,” Chakaravarthy thought to himself. He observed that this season, clubs have been using impact players more wisely, which has allowed them to start their innings with a more aggressive mindset. Even though bowlers voiced their complaints, Chakaravarthy emphasized that this was an inevitable condition, saying, “We have to rise to the challenge. Ground measurements and regulations don’t change.”Chakaravarthy recently defeated the Delhi Capitals by taking three vital wickets, including those of Rishabh Pant, Tristan Stubbs, and impact player Kumar Kushagra. This allowed Delhi to be limited to 153-9 in 20 overs. With 21 balls remaining, Kolkata easily defeated West Indies thanks to Phil Salt’s brilliant 68 off 33 balls, securing their spot in the playoff race.
