Ponting argues over Rohit Sharma's 'Shivam Dube' remark on major IPL rule: 'Better to ask spectators what they think...'
Hindustan TimesThe Impact Player rule, introduced in Indian Premier League, in 2023, was a unique concept introduced in the T20 format, which added a new dimension to the game. However, the rule and its concept did not sit well with India captain Rohit Sharma, who in a recent interview, explained that it did limited the roles of all-rounders like Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar. Ricky Ponting doesn't agree with Rohit Sharma's remark on Impact Player rule in IPL “I read some interesting answers from Rohit Sharma on this yesterday. The Impact Player rule is taking the all-rounders out of the game a little bit,” Ponting said in a press conference on Friday, ahead of Delhi Capitals’ match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in New Delhi. While the rule, similar to the concept of substitute players in other team sports like football, rugby and basketball, emerged as a key tactical element for teams across the last two seasons, Rohit reckoned that it restricted the all-round abilities of players like Dube, who has been solely used as a power-hitter by Chennai Super Kings in the last two seasons despite his ability to bowl medium pace, which could only add to his advantage as Dube aims to seal his spot in India's T20 World Cup squad.
