NEW DELHI: The 'Impact Player' rule, according to Michael Hussey, the batting coach for the Chennai Super Kings, has extended their batting order, enabling former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to bat as late as number eight in this IPL.
With the implementation of the 'Impact Player' rule in the 2023 edition, each franchise is now allowed to designate five substitutes, one of whom may enter the game as a substitute.
