Ms dhoni statement on ipl impact player rule: Indian World Cup winning captain and wicketkeeper-batsman of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) MS Dhoni expressed his opinion on the Impact Player Rules, which allows teams to use an additional player during the game, and said that high scoring games are not direct results, but are more related to players’ conditions and comfort levels. In particular, the Impact Player Rules have attracted a variety of opinions. While it has been appreciated by many for helping teams to be more flexible with their combinations and to help achieve the best possible talent during a particular match position, it has been criticized for obstructing all -rounders’ growth and making games a lot of scoring and batsmen.
Speaking about the rule in ‘The MSD Experience’ on Jiohotstar, Dhoni said that when it was brought in 2023, it was not really not needed. He also said that this rule also helps him and does not help at the same time.
He said, “When this rule was implemented, I felt that it was not really needed at that time. In a way, it helps me, but at the same time, it would not benefit. I still do wicketkeeping, so I am not an impressive player. I have to join the game.” “Many people say that this rule has done more high -scores games. I believe it is due to the circumstances and the spontaneous level of the players. The number of runs is not only due to the additional batsman. Cricket has developed. “
Talking about whether his specialty is to bat against the staunch rival and five -time champions Mumbai Indians, Dhoni said that he does not have opponents for him and he wants to do well against all the teams. Dhoni said, “There is nothing like this. As a batsman I want to do well against all the teams. What do I want to do with the team against which I am batting? You try to bat and do well.
I don’t think there is any rivalry. I do not choose teams as personal or franchise rivalry, as it increases additional pressure on you. Finally, if you play and win against any franchise, you get the same marks. Of course, the points may matter slightly more depending on their position in the table. But your attitude should be the same. You want to perform well against every team and do well. “
He said, “For me personally, the opposition does not matter. Winning the game matters. Whether it is Mumbai or some other franchise. But yes, it is a matter of discussion. People like to talk about rivalry, and it is good for IPL. When you make rivalry between two franchisees, there is always a big match where you are a big match. You can talk about it, you can use the data, we can see the past from 2008, so we have a lot of data. ” After winning against Mi in his opening match, CSK’s next match will be against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on March 28 at Chennai’s home ground.
