Mitchell Starc gave statement on Impact Player Rule, told why problems for captains will increase in T20 World Cup

So far, statements of many players have come out regarding the Impact Player Rule in the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in which now another name of Kolkata Knight Riders team and Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has also been added. Starc bowled brilliantly and took 4 wickets in the match against Mumbai Indians. Starc said in his statement that due to the absence of this rule in the T20 World Cup 2024, it will not be an easy task for all the captains to make strategies because they will have to select their playing 11 which is best according to the situation. The Impact Player rule was implemented in the 16th season of IPL played in the year 2023, in which all the teams were given the freedom to include one additional player in their playing 11, which they can decide according to the conditions in the match. .

Impact player rule provides opportunity to field additional batsmen

Mitchell Starc, in the press conference held after the match against Mumbai Indians, said about the impact player rule that due to this rule, all the teams get to see key batsmen till number 8 or 9. This provides depth to the batting and teams are seen playing quite fearlessly in the powerplay. However, there will be no such rule in the upcoming T20 World Cup and hence its effect will be seen on the score also. You will have to balance your team without any extra players, due to which the importance of all-rounder players is sure to increase. When you have to select only 11 players, captains have to think a lot strategically. It was great to experience the Impact Player Rule in IPL.

KKR’s journey has been amazing so far

In the 17th season of IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders team has seen a very good performance so far, in which it has almost secured its place for the playoffs. Regarding his and the team’s performance, Starc said that KKR’s journey so far has been great, we are really doing very well. This is T20 cricket where things don’t always go the way you want. I wanted to perform well initially but could not do so. However, what matters most to us is our team in second place.
