NEW DELHI: India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has voiced his support for the Impact Player rule introduced in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL), citing its strategic advantages despite some criticism.
The rule permits teams to substitute a player during a match, allowing for tactical adjustments which Ashwin believes add value to the game. He also refuted claims that it hinders the development of all-rounders, asserting that players still have the freedom to pursue both batting and bowling.
