You need to change with the times, Shastri supports the Impact Player regulation.

Shastri supports the Impact Player rule, saying that one must change with the times.Some current players and coaches in the IPL are not too fond of the Impact Player rule, however former India coach Ravi Shastri supports it, citing the rule's role in some exciting endings."It's a good rule, the Impact Player rule. On his YouTube channel, Shastri said to R Ashwin, "You have to change with the times." It's true that similar incidents occur in other sports. Its finishes are more precise. I believe that it's a good rule to adapt to the times you live in. You witnessed how many close calls we had in the Indian Premier League last year. Thus, it has indeed made a significant difference.While some believe the rule hinders the growth of allrounders, including as India captain Rohit Sharma, Ashwin gave the example of Dhruv Jurel, who started as an Impact Player in the IPL 2023 and made his Test debut for India a year later."Any new rule that is implemented will inevitably result in...People will attempt to defend why that is incorrect, Shastri stated. "But in time when you see the scores - 200 and 190 - and then like you mentioned individuals grabbing that opportunity and making the most of it, people will start re-looking at how they think about it."The BCCI secretary, Jay Shah, stated last week that the Impact Player rule is "not permanent" and that a decision regarding its use in future IPL seasons will be made following a meeting with relevant parties following the 2024 T20 World Cup."A test case is similar to Impact Player. We have been gradually implementing it.

The most significant benefit of it is that two Indian players are getting a chance [in every game], as Shah had stated to media on Thursday at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai. "We'll take a call and confer with the broadcasters, players, and teams. Although I'm not claiming it will last, this is not permanent."We'll see if it increases the level of competition in the game or not. We will speak with a gamer even in that case if they believe that something is wrong. However, as of now, no one has informed us, therefore the decision will be made following the World Cup."The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 competition allowed teams to substitute a player from the original XI announced at the toss with a 12th player at any time during a match. Rohit was the first well-known Indian player to criticize the rule, which was introduced to the IPL in 2023.Delhi Capitals (DC) players Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar were among those who spoke out against the rule. Still, DC head coach Ricky Ponting had expressed his satisfaction with the IPL keeping the Impact Player if it was contributing to a "better spectacle" during the competition. However, he acknowledged that as a coach, he wasn't too fond of the regulation, referring to it as a "nightmare".
