Many big records were broken in the 17th season of IPL. At the same time, many players reacted to the mid-season Impact Player rule. Now Virat Kohli's name has also been added to this list. In a statement, Kohli criticized the impact player rule implemented in the IPL and said that it affects the balance of the game. Before Kohli, Rohit Sharma had also given a statement regarding the impact player rule in which he had said that due to this, teams are no longer paying much attention to all-rounders.

Not every team has Bumrah or Rashid Khan

Virat Kohli talked about the impact player rule and said that when bowlers think that they will give four or six runs on every ball. Not every team has a bowler like Jasprit Bumrah or Rashid Khan. With the extra batsmen in the team, I am batting at a strike rate of over 200 in the powerplay because I know we have batsmen up to No. 8. I believe that cricket should not be dominated on such a large scale. We should try to maintain balance between bat and ball. I support Rohit's statement because entertainment is one aspect of the game but we also have to keep balance in mind.

Virat Kohli further said that I am confident that BCCI will review this rule and I am sure that a way will be found to maintain balance in the game. You don't need fours or sixes to make cricket exciting. Making a score of 160 runs to win the match is also exciting.

BCCI Secretary Jai Shah also gave a statement on this rule.

In the debate that started on the Impact Player rule, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jai Shah also gave his statement in this regard, in which he said that we have implemented this rule as an experiment and we will do so. Apply this in the future. We can reconsider this rule. We implemented this rule so that 2 Indian players get a chance to play in a match.
