How Impact Player rule has lit up IPL stage

Hindustan Times  

When the introduction of the Impact Player was announced prior to the start of IPL 2023, it sparked a frisson of excitement. The Impact Player rule allowed franchises to name five substitutes, one of whom could come on as a sub. One year and a few matches on, while the Impact Player has indeed lit up the IPL stage, it’s worth considering if what works for the IPL will work for Indian cricket too when it comes to Twenty20 Internationals. Most franchise-based leagues beyond the IPL haven’t embraced the Impact Player idea, nor has the International Cricket Council. India had tried to ‘manufacture’ all-rounders by getting someone like Venkatesh Iyer to also chip in with a few overs of medium-pace for Kolkata Knight Riders and for the national team but with under the new dynamic, franchises are understandably loath to look for even one exploratory over from a ‘part-timer’ because they have the option of replacing one specialist with another in the diametrically opposite department.
