The introduction of the 'impact player' rule may also lead to more pressure on the players, as they will have to be prepared to enter the game at any given moment and make an impact for their team.
The 'impact player' rule is a new addition to the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023.
This rule allows teams to bring any player from the bench out of four nominated players at any given point of the innings.
The rule was first tested in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and is aimed at providing more opportunities to uncapped Indian players.
An overseas player can also be brought in as an impact player, but the total number of foreign players on the team cannot exceed four.
This rule is expected to add more excitement to the tournament, as teams will have more flexibility in their playing XI and will be able to make strategic changes during the match to impact the outcome.
