" There's an opportunity for advancement and it makes the gameplay fairer", Ashwin argues
R. Ashwin thinks the Impact Player Rule eliminated a proper aspect from the IPL.
There has been a lot of criticism of the rule from several quarters, including from Rohit Sharma, who is n't a "big fan". The main criticism is that it prevents the development of allies. Additionally, it seems as though teams have started to score more as a result of the additional batter's cushion ( if the team chooses ).
" Why I think the Impact Player law is not so bad is because it gives a little more value for plan," Ashwin said on Kris Srikkanth's YouTube present Cheeky Cheeka. " The other side of that argument is it does n't encourage allrounders. But no one is stopping them.
" In this generation, they do n't do it [batters bowling and vice-versa]. They are not discouraged by the Impact Player principle, in fact. Look at Venkatesh Iyer, he's already rocking for Lancashire. Innovation presents a unique possibility, which makes the gameplay brighter. "
Ashwin's statement was cited in Qualifier 2 of the IPL 2024 to support his position. " Sunrisers [Hyderabad ] brought in Shahbaz Ahmed as an Impact Player [vs Rajasthan Royals, after hitting 175 for 9 batting first ]; he went on to become a match-winner [with 3 for 23].
" When mist has the potential to make game one-sided, groups bowling second get an extra alternative as a desk. By offloading the more bowling in place of the dough, you can make a second-ball mistakenly the pitcher.
" Games are tighter, an additional player is getting to enjoy. Barring Kolkata or Mumbai, where scores skyrocketed, they have n't been a drastic change elsewhere. Like at Punjab Kings ' home venue [ Mullanpur], they were all 160-170 games. "
What gives a franchise the right to jump in during an auction if they do n't see a player in their top four or five?
ahwin on the Right to Match
Ashwin argued that a number of people had moved up the ranks, even into the national team, as a result of the principle. " Shahbaz Ahmed, Shivam Dube most notably, Dhruv Jurel… If not for the Impact Player law, he may have never gotten the chance. So the development of a lot of people has happened. I'm not saying that's the only way for people to come, but it's not so terrible. "
Abroad, there's a big auction coming up. The Right to Match (RTM) has n't been used at IPL auctions since 2018, but the IPL is still deliberating on the retention rules for the auction and the reintroducing RTMs is one of the things on the table.
Ashwin does n't want it, not in its current form.
" If a franchise has released a player because they do n't see him in their top four or five, then what gives them the right to jump in during an auction," Ashwin argued. " You give the opportunity to the player asking if he wants to get straight to matched. There should be a deal bound the two parties, which says he may be RTMed only if the rate is X amount and keep that pre-determined number to be decided by the player. "
