IPL 2026: Impact Player rule hurting skill balance, says DC's Jamieson

Delhi Capitals pacer Kyle Jamieson on Monday joined a growing chorus of players criticising the IPL's controversial Impact Player rule, saying it "takes a lot of the skill out of the game. Several current and former cricketers have voiced concerns over the rule, which allows teams to substitute a player from a list of five at any point during a match. While some argue it hampers the development of all-rounders, others feel it has tilted the balance in favour of batters as teams can now attack throughout 20 overs with the cushion of having an extra willow wielder at number eight. "Personally, I'm not a fan of it. I think it takes a lot of the skill out of the game," Jamieson said in a select media interaction ahead Delhi Capitals game against Gujarat Titans. "I think if you can bat 9 or 10, you don't have to have the same sort of batsmanship that you probably once had to have," he added. Introduced in 2023, the rule is set to remain in place until 2027. Jamieson stressed that the

Batting at number four gave me confidence: Rizvi after winning knock vs LSG

Young Delhi Capitals batter Sameer Rizvi grabbed the the opportunity to bat at number four with both hands and said his only focus now is to maintain the consistency going forward in the IPL. Rizvi gave ample display of his talent, coming in as an 'Impact Player' to help Delhi Capitals get past Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets after a shaky start here on Wednesday. Chasing 142, DC were reduced to 26 for 4 within first five overs but Rizvi (70 not out off 47 balls), coming in for T Natarajan, conjured an unbroken 119-run stand for the fifth wicket with the seasoned Tristan Stubbs (39 not out off 32 balls) to chase down the target in just 17.1 overs. Rizvi showed exemplary maturity during his knock and hit five fours and four sixes on a tricky track. "Coaches told me before that you will play at No.4 position and we will back you. You just play your natural, positive game," said the 22-year-old Uttar Pradesh cricketer. "Whenever I play for UP or in UPT20 league, I bat at no.4 an
