Those who know the working of BCCI – they know very well that BCCI does not like that any player (especially the one who is under contract and certainly not the captain) speaks openly on any of their policies. They don't even allow their contracted commentators to speak. Despite this, on April 18, Rohit Sharma put BCCI in trouble with his statements on two different issues simultaneously. There were media reports that he met Rahul Dravid and Ajit Agarkar to discuss the composition of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be played in June, but Rohit called it 'fake news' while everyone knows the truth.

After this, Rohit Sharma slammed the 'Impact Player' law of IPL – the reason being that he feels that 'this law' is not allowing cricketers like Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey to showcase their bowling talent. Result- Team India is having difficulty in getting an all-rounder. While BCCI tried the Impact Player Law in domestic cricket (2022-23 Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Tournament) and got a lot of praise when it entered the IPL in 2023, now Team India's T20 captain has counted the disadvantages of this law. Used to be. At present, many faces in BCCI are red with anger but are not able to do anything because it will make things worse. Now let us discuss this issue of impact player further.

It is true that barring Hardik, India does not have a true seam bowling all-rounder for the T20 World Cup – even though Dubey's name is being discussed for the finisher role. Rohit clearly says that the 'Impact Player' law is a big hurdle in the way of bringing out an all-rounder. Actually, this law gives every team an opportunity to substitute a player – batsman/bowler during the innings, as per the requirement of the match. Due to this, Chennai Super Kings used a player like Dubey as a power-hitter. Jin Dubey may be counted as an all-rounder on paper and make him a contender for the T20 World Cup team. Till this time of the season, he has scored 245 runs in the 7 matches played but did not bowl a single over. Where is he left as an all-rounder? IPL is making them useless.

Similarly- Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya himself had no desire to bowl. There are reports that when the selectors forced him to bowl, he hurt his arm. Hardik bowled in 6 out of 8 matches and bowled only 4-4 overs against the quota against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings.

In fact, the Impact Player Law increased the fun of the match but ended the practice of playing cricket with 11 players – when a special kind of specialist was being found from outside when needed, our all-rounders became useless. If the other team is batting well then call another bowler and if you want to score runs then call a better batsman. In the show in which Rohit Sharma said this, Adam Gilchrist was also there and he said that before the 2023 season, if someone in the team batting first scored 100, then usually (up to 75 percent) the victory in the match was certain. Now 'Impact Sab' reduced it to 50 percent. And see – from 2008 to 2023, there were only two 250+ scores and this year there have been many 250+ scores and Impact Sub has completely contributed to this.

Zaheer Khan supported Rohit Sharma without any delay and this support is increasing now. Even the current top bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are supporting him. The result was that BCCI was left with no other option but to accept the review of the Impact Player Law in IPL. After IPL, first this will be discussed with all the teams and then a decision will be taken.
