Will Ending 'Impact Player' Rule Reduce IPL High Scores? DC Head Coach Ricky Ponting Says...
Delhi Capitals head coach and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes high-scoring games will continue to be a norm in the IPL even if the much-debated 'Impact Player' rule is discontinued. The Impact Player rule allows teams to replace one of the original XI announced at the toss at any point during the match. It has divided opinions with some like India captain Rohit Sharma calling it detrimental for all-rounders as they don't get a chance to bowl while some others like Sourav Ganguly describing it as a good innovation.
