Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement

Let us tell you that recently while talking to the media in a program organized by Blue Ocean Corporation, Sourav Ganguly said- I like the impact player rule. This (IPL) is a great tournament.

With an impact player you can only decide before the toss, so there is a bit of skill involved. Let the impact player know beforehand as it will require a lot of skill and game plan, but I am totally in favour of the impact player.

From this statement given by Ganguly, you can guess that he seems to be advocating the Impact Player rule which has been used in IPL for the last two years.

Also, after the introduction of this rule, former Indian captain Virat Kohli had said that it seems that this game is now only for the batsmen. Bowlers feel that every ball bowled by them can result in a boundary.
