'It's Getting Difficult Every Day with Impact Player Rule': Rishabh Pant Adds to the Ongoing Debate
Rishabh Pant has his say on Impact Player rule
Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday clinched yet another thrilling encounter to make a massive leap on the IPL 2024 points table. The Rishabh Pant-led side defeated Mumbai Indians by 10 runs to register their second consecutive win this season. After reeling at the bottom of the table for weeks, DC have moved to 5th with 10 points and a Net Run Rate of -0.276.

Delhi posted their highest-ever IPL team total of 257 for 4 and then managed to keep MI down to 247 for 9 despite some heavy-duty hitting by Tilak Varma, who scored 63 off 32 balls. However, the DC skipper expressed his apprehensions about the contentious impact player rule after his team’s victory.
“We were pretty happy with 250 on the board but with impact sub, it is getting difficult each and every day,” Pant said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

In order to stop the MI batters from stepping out, Pant stood up to the likes of medium pacers Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Dar.
“Definitely, I can keep up to the stumps but the bowler also should be confident…. with batters like Tim David walking down, and today it worked,” he added.
The skipper was all praise for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has taken the IPL Universe by storm with another brutal knock – 82 off 24 balls with 11 fours and six sixes.
“He has been amazing since the first day and this is what you want from a younger player, he’s getting better and better with each game. The chances are increasing day by day, but we are taking it one game at a time,” he further said.
