राहुल द्रविड़ ने आईपीएल के ‘इम्पैक्ट प्लेयर’ नियम पर दी प्रतिक्रिया

New Delhi. India’s great cricketer Rahul Dravid has revealed that when he was the head coach of the Indian men’s team, he did not like the ‘Impact Player’ rules in the IPL. India won the ICC T20 World Cup title in Dravid’s coaching. He said that although he understood the ‘benefits’ of this rule, it is going to be very difficult to make better all -rounders.

Rahul Dravid took over the post of head coach of the Indian team in 2021 in place of Ravi Shastri and oversee the development of the team by 2024. The Impact Player Rules were introduced in IPL 2023, which came before that year’s ODI World Cup. At that time, the contribution of bowling of all-rounders, such as Shivam Dubey and Venkatesh Iyer, who was on India’s radar, had reduced considerably in the IPL as his franchise no longer needed his part-time services, he could sub-in a specialist player.

Dravid told Sportstar. “It has definitely added a separate dynamic. To say honestly, when I was the coach of India, I did not like the impact player rule. It does not mean that it does not make the game more competitive – it definitely makes it. It makes a complication and keeps matches alive till the end. But it presents some challenges in terms of the national team.”

“As a coach you want to develop all -rounders. Earlier, when 11 players of both teams used to play, some players in that format used to get more opportunity to bat or bowl under different circumstances. The Impact Player Rule has changed it to some extent.”

Due to this rule, big scores are being seen in the tournament. The 200-run figure is being crossed more often and some of the highest score (including top-two) in the history of the tournament have come in this stage. Dravid said, “Scoring rates have increased by status as teams have an extra specialist batsman. This means that no team is really out of the game. You can have a batsman at number 8 or even number 9, which allows aggressive batting even after losing six or seven wickets,”

“Although being an all -rounder still balances, teams can now work without an all -rounder if they do not get the right fit. It strategically added layers to the team selection and match plan. I think why it exists. Ensure that every sports remains competitive and an extra Indian player allows the Indian player to be involved in the league, which is a positive and other rules, which is always a positive and other rules. There are advantages and disadvantages, ”
