The Impact Player Rule will make its debut in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 and each MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya gave their trustworthy verdicts on the innovation in T20 cricket. The new rule implies that the ‘Impact Player’ will be capable of do every thing from the time he takes the pitch, and the rule e book states that “Impact Player can only be an Indian player unless the franchise has fewer than four overseas players in the Playing XI.” While Pandya didn’t reveal a lot about his emotions concerning the new rule, Dhoni got here up with an attention-grabbing commentary about the way it can influence the shortest format of cricket.

“Looks a good wicket and I don’t think it will change. Don’t know if there will be dew because it rained last night. You want to play in front of people. This stadium is twice the capacity of other stadiums. Fantastic atmosphere. Preparation was good. We assembled quite early. It’s a luxury to have (impact player). It becomes slightly easier to make the decision because you can use it at any time. Influence of allrounder has become slightly less because of the rule,” Dhoni mentioned on the toss.

“”It’s always good to play here. New start, new season, quite exciting. Almost everyone in the country has got motivation from him (Dhoni). Been a fan and admirer of him. Want boys to enjoy it. Result will take care of itself. It’s different – I’ve left it in the coach. Ashu pa works all night on what needs to be done. I don’t know (combination for today),” Pandya said after he won the toss and opted to bowl.
