'I’m not an Impact Player': MS Dhoni explains why he disagreed with key IPL rule, ‘Wasn’t really needed at that time’

Hindustan Times  

The impact player rule's strange effect on the Indian Premier League has been such that there have been as many open calls for it to be removed as there have been acknowledgements of the fact that it has led to many more high-scoring games in the league. “When this rule was implemented, I felt it wasn’t really needed at that time. Kohli also said that his unusually high strike rate last season was a direct result of the rule, with the top-order batters getting more freedom to go for big shots due to the presence of an extra batter. The number of runs being scored isn’t just because of an extra batsman," said Dhoni.
