💨 Abstract

The IPL Governing Council has decided to continue the Impact Player rule for the IPL 2025 season, despite mixed opinions. Introduced in IPL 2023, the rule allows teams to replace a player from the starting eleven and bring in a specialist batsman or bowler as per the match situation. The rule has led to high scoring totals, but concerns have been raised about its effect on the role of all-rounders.
