The Impact Player rule has had a significant impact on the Indian Premier League (IPL). Introduced in the 16th edition of the game in 2023, it has continued into IPL 2024. This rule provides teams with the flexibility to introduce either a specialist batter or a specialist bowler. What is impact player rule and who are the players who have played an impact player so far in IPL 2024, let us look at this article.
What is Impact player rule?
The Impact Player rule permits one substitute player per team to actively participate in matches either with the bat or the ball.
Prior to the commencement of play, both team captains are allowed to designate five substitutes who can replace one of the players.
The Impact Player rule stands apart from the standard substitution rule in international cricket, where a substitute fielder can only replace an injured player on the field but is not permitted to bat or bowl during the match.
In contrast, concussion substitutes in international cricket are allowed to both bat and bowl, but their entry into the game is driven by injury rather than strategy, unlike the Impact Player rule.
