Jay Shah: In the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team became the champion. KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. In IPL 2024, we got to see high scoring matches in many matches. Due to which the bowlers were thrashed badly in the 17th season.

A total of 1260 sixes were hit in IPL 2024 and so far this is the highest number of sixes in a season in the history of IPL. Due to which some cricket experts believe that batsmen have been given more freedom in IPL. Due to which BCCI secretary Jay Shah can remove a big rule from IPL. Which has also been criticized by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Jay Shah can remove this rule

Let us tell you that the impact rule was implemented in IPL since the last 2 seasons. Due to which all teams get a chance to include an extra batsman in the squad. But due to this rule, all-rounder players are not getting a chance in the playing 11.

After which many players called this rule bad. Whereas now Jay Shah can remove this rule. Because, it is believed that BCCI can also remove this rule very soon.

Rohit and Kohli have given a big statement

Team India's star players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli made a big statement about the impact rule and called this rule very bad. Rohit Sharma said about the impact rule, "After all, cricket is played by 11 players. Not 12 players. I am not a big fan of 'impact player'. You are taking a lot out of the game for a little entertainment of the people around."

He further said, "I can give you many examples. People like Washington Sundar and Shivam Dubey are not getting a chance to bowl. This is not a good thing for us. You know. I don't know what you can do about it but to be honest, I am not a fan of it." At the same time, Virat Kohli also said about this rule, "I agree with Rohit. Entertainment is one aspect of the game but there is no balance in it."

The meeting is on 31 July

A meeting is to be held on July 31 between the BCCI and the owners of all the teams regarding the mega auction of IPL 2025. Due to which the impact rule can also be discussed on this day. While in this meeting it can also be decided that how many players can be retained in the mega auction.
