I think The Impact Player rule is going to have a long lasting effect on cricket. Subs in T20 feels like it’s the next step in T20s evolution. It should raise both the quality and entertainment level of the game. I know it hurts your inner traditionalist it hurts mine too

I like it.

Although I think it adds to the art of building a strong T20 team, not the other way around

Like in soccer, deploying the right subs at the right time is a crucial management tactic as well. We may see specialist subs
(ex: Andre Schurrle in 2014 for ??)

Aptly put thread, T20 has always been about innovation and this is the next step forward. Would actually like OS players to be eligible to be an Impact Player too even if they are playing 4 prior. Want to also see this become mainstream across T20 leagues and in T20 WCs even https://t.co/cxccB6T8T3

It's hilarious to see T20 fans getting all puritan abt "this isn't the way things used to be". That's the entire point of the game that it's ever changing. Love the new rule, and unless some genuine flaw comes up with it,it should be continue.

having the impact player does give the teams an extra cushion.

Also it will be about how and when teams choose to use it.

An excellent initiative. Can take the game in either way, as we saw yesterday how GT targeted Deshpande. So, teams have to choose it wisely. But I want just one modification to the rule: Name only 1 or 2 as impact player probables after the toss. 5 names are a little too much.

But it will decrease the quality we see in teams winning against the odda. Like you didn't ready the pitch right and now you have to wi. With wrong XI or you are 7 or 8 down and need 20(12) and bowler wins you from there.

Idk man…. The reason it was introduced so they can negate the toss factor… But I actually believe this rule favours the side who's batting 2nd as they can easily get an extra batter and go very hard on the chase…

Rule that benefits the chasing team by lengthening the batting line-up.?As if captains weren't already chasing everytime??

— NoNonsense (@NoNonsense9320) March 31, 2023

This is a disgracefully immoral rule , pitting 12 against 12 ?????

Removed the aspect of making a combination and so many other decisions

It's a sh!# rule considering the fact that how it belittles the value of a genuine good all-rounder.
If it transcends into international games, then we will hardly see a batter rolling his arms and a bowler doing some knocking, even in nets.#JioCinema #IPL2023OpeningCeremony

I personally don't like the impact player rule. Teams which had flop auction will benefit from it by playing an extra bowler while fielding and extra batter while batting.

Worst rule. Imagine bowling team defending a low totel, then 12 runs needed from last over 8 wckts down then the batting team sends a impact plyr batsman and then batting team wins. Then what about the bowling team who bowled so well to defend the total, they will feel like fckd
