By A former international player and broadcaster has stated that the Impact Player rule, which is similar to a glorified “12-a-side” cricket match, has been good for IPL ratings but bad for Indian cricket. The idea of an all-rounder has been undermined by this rule, which gives bowling-capable but partially fit players like Hardik Pandya high value. As a result, players who were formerly good finishers and handy bowlers but are now unconsidered are players like Rinku Singh.

Rinku’s chances were impacted by this rule, which permits a player to be substituted in the final five overs of an innings. Rinku frequently batted for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final overs, which gave him few opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.Hard-hitter Shivam Dube was chosen over Rinku for the final 15-man roster, despite Rinku’s outstanding T20I and IPLachievements. Rinku was left out of the team because the Indian selectors believed he couldn’t replace Dube and Hardik Pandya in the lineup.Rinku’s steady form and potential have been emphasized by former cricket players and experts, who have emphasized that his track record and internationalperformances earned a berth in the squad.
