Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani shared a special perspective concerning the Impact Player rule ahead of the Indian Premier League 2026.
“Cricket has evolved to a degree where 180s aren’t sufficient and you’ll have to have good starts at the highest. When you’ve passed by and seen what’s happened on the World Cup in recent times – our skipper winning it for the second time – you’ve seen scores of 250-240. We’ve also seen similar scores last 12 months with the IPL,” he said.
“I feel once we’ve had that Impact Player, though the World Cup doesn’t have the Impact Player, I feel it’s the intent that everybody shows of late. And that shall be the way in which forward with cricket on this format itself,” he further added.
