With Impact Player rule, you can play only 50-50 all-rounders: Hardik Pandya
Deccan ChronicleMumbai: Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya on Wednesday said now that the contentious Impact Player rule has been extended by three years, a cricketer has to be a pure all-rounder to find place in the starting eleven. The BCCI extended the rule to at least the 2027 edition despite reservations from leading Indian players, including Rohit Sharma who said the Impact Player strategy was holding back the development of Indian all-rounders with teams replacing them with an extra batter or bowler during the game. Pandya will miss MI's opening game on Sunday due to one match suspension for over-rate related offences last year. Pandya upbeat about Mumbai Indians' revival after memorable 12 months Pandya's return to Mumbai Indians last season was not the smoothest as the storied franchise finished last among 10 teams.
