IPL 2023: ‘Teams Will Need Some Time To Ace It, Sunil Gavaskar 

IPL 2023: Sunil Gavaskar and Harbhajan Singh, two former Indian cricketers, have endorsed the new “Impact Player Rule” that the BCCI has implemented in the IPL. Legendary cricketers believe it may take time for the teams to comprehend and apply the regulation to the game’s circumstances. “You need time to understand new rules and acclimate to new playing conditions. The same will be the case with all ten teams in the TATA IPL 2023. They will need some time to ace it.”

“It’s Very Innovative”, Harbhajan Singh

This season, clubs will be permitted to use a tactical change for the first time in IPL history, with an Impact Player filling in as needed to bat or bowl. Experienced off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, has praised the think group for the creative proposal. Appears to be on board with implementing this new regulation.

Tushar Deshpande of Chennai replaced Ambati Rayudu during their defense in the IPL 2023 opening between CSK and GT at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. And became the first Impact Player at that time. On Saturday, the Titans won the toss and elected to bowl. They selected a starting XI that contained six seam options, including Rashid Khan’s leg spin, and four quick specialists. And all-rounders Hardik and Vijay Shankar.

Use Of Impact Players

While left-arm fast Yash Dayal claimed 11 wickets in the Titans’ successful IPL 2022 campaign. Only bowled one over the 12th of the Super Kings innings, Vijay did not receive a bowl. Only one of the first 13 overs was bowled by Alzarri Joseph, who then bowled three of the final seven. Super Kings were lowered to 178 for seven, thanks largely to Joseph, who took two wickets and allowed only 15 runs in his final three overs.

In the end, Kane Williamson injured his knee while trying a leaping boundary catch during the 13th over of the Super Kings’ inning, delaying the Titans’ plan to change one of their bowlers for a hitter during the second innings. As a result, B Sai Sudharsan, who batted at No. 3 during the Titans’ chase, replaced Williamson in the lineup. Titans eventually made it to their goal with four balls remaining. The way they won was reminiscent of the 2022 season when their lower order performed a series of miraculous comebacks.

When it came down to 23 off the final two overs, Rashid and Rahul Tewatia’s crucial hits helped them over the finish line.
