BCCI is being urged by prominent IPL figures to get rid of the “impact player” rule, after it drew criticism from multiple high-profile players since its introduction. NDTV reports that former India captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have previously expressed dissatisfaction with the rule, which allows a team to make an additional substitution during a match.
The outlet also highlights commentary from IPL veterans, including a four-time IPL winner and a CSK great, who question how the rule improves the tournament’s competition and balance. The repeated calls suggest the criticism is not limited to a single team or individual, but instead reflects broader debate over the rule’s effect on strategy, team roles, and match flow.
While the articles focus on opposition to the rule, they do not indicate a BCCI decision or any immediate changes. The reporting centers on the arguments raised by former players rather than on official league or board responses, leaving the status of any potential rule adjustment unclear.
