"In my opinion, impact player rule is unfair for all-rounder": Jwala Singh
New Delhi, : Former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan has said that the decision to lift the ban on the use of saliva in the Indian Premier League 2025 will give bowlers an advantage by enabling them to generate reverse swing in the death overs, creating challenges for batters, and urged bowlers to make the most of it, ESPNcricinfo reported. "In my opinion, impact player rule is unfair for all-rounder": Jwala Singh The decision to allow bowlers to use saliva on the ball in IPL 2025 was made following a meeting at the Board of Control for Cricket in India headquarters in Mumbai on Thursday. Yashasvi Jaiswal's coach, Jwala Singh, also commented on the reinstatement of saliva use and the Impact Player rule. "If the bowl will reserve swing, it will be difficult for batters to hit big shots; you see players like Surya Kumar Yadav and AB de Villiers fall onto the yorkers and play big shots. "In my opinion, the impact player rule is unfair for the all-rounder because teams choose batsmen mostly as impact players, but for entertainment, I propose it is good," Jwala Singh said at an event."
