Although there have been many controversial matches in the history of cricket till date, but the final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 was the only match that forced the ICC to change its rules. The final of the 2023 World Cup was played between England and New Zealand, where hosts England defeated the Kiwis by 0 runs. Now the first question that must have come to your mind is how can a team win or lose by 0 runs? So for your information, all this happened because of the controversial rule of ICC. After this tournament, ICC had to change this rule. Let us tell you what happened in that match. This was the situation of 2019 ODI World Cup In fact, in that match, New Zealand batted first and scored 241 runs in the stipulated 50 overs. Henry Nicholls was the only Kiwi batsman who managed to cross the 50-run mark, he scored 55 runs in 77 balls. England, who came out to chase this score, at one point lost 4 wickets for 86 runs in the form of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Johnny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. After this, Ben Stokes and Jos Butler made a 110-run partnership for the 5th wicket and brought England back into the match. In the 45th over, Lockie Ferguson brought New Zealand back into the match by dismissing Butler on a personal score of 59. In the last over, England needed 15 runs to win and had two wickets in hand. Trent Bolt did not give any runs on the first two balls of the last over, so the pressure was increasing on England. Stokes kept his team alive in the match by hitting a six towards mid-wicket on the third ball. On the fourth ball, something happened which no one could believe. Stokes tried to take two runs by playing a shot towards deep mid-wicket, Martin Guptill who was present there tried to make a direct throw which hit Stokes’ bat and went straight across the boundary. The umpire gave a total of 6 runs on this ball (2 runs by running and 4 boundaries). There again the match seemed to be going in England’s favour. However, New Zealand still did not give up. Bolt bowled a wide yorker on the fifth ball on which Stokes wanted to take two runs, but Adil Rashid standing at the non-striker’s end got out. The situation on the last ball was such that England needed 2 runs to win and New Zealand was one wicket away from victory. A similar scene was seen on the last ball as well. Stokes wanted to take two runs by playing lightly, but Mark Wood, who came at the non-striker’s end, could not reach the crease in time and the match was tied and went into the over. England became champion…

In the last 6-7 matches, I feel my rhythm has come back. I am capable of bowling off spin. I made a slight change in my action. My plan was simple. I came in focused on changing the line and length of my balls and executed it well.”

Why did Mitchell Starc get angry over the Impact Player Rule? What kind of question was asked…
When Mitchell Starc was asked the reason behind the poor figures of the bowlers, he blamed the impact player rule. Mitchell Starc (Pic Source-X) The 51st match of IPL 2024 was played between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders on May 3 at the Wankhede Stadium. In this match, the Kolkata Knight Riders team made a good score after a bad start and then gave a tough time to the Mumbai batsmen in the bowling. KKR won against Mumbai Indians by 24 runs and are at second position in the points table after gaining 2 more points. Mitchell Starc has a big role in this victory. Starc performed brilliantly and bowled 3 overs 5 balls in which he took 4 wickets for 33 runs. But he had bowled poorly in the last few matches, so after the match, when Mitchell Starc was asked the reason for his poor bowling, his answer was worth listening to. When Starc was asked the reason behind the poor figures of the bowlers, he blamed the impact player rule. Let us tell you that the ‘Impact Player’ rule in IPL has started from 2023. This rule was brought to make cricket more exciting but now cricketers seem unhappy about it. Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, David Milner and now Mitchell Starc have spoken against it. Let’s know what Mitchell Starc said on ‘Impact Player Rule’- “The Impact Player rules are changing things up a bit in the match. Because of this rule, there has been more depth in batting and everyone is getting a chance to bat till the lower order. Because of this rule all this is happening and big scores are being made against the bowlers in the match. The nature of the pitch and the ground also have an impact on this. When you have batsmen or batting all-rounders at number eight and nine, the batting order becomes very big and the bowler does not get a chance to make a comeback.” “At the same time, in the powerplay, the batsmen have no fear because you just have to cross the boundary to score runs. And if you are out, there is a batting line behind you. There has definitely been a lot of good batting in the tournament and it is only because of this rule that the batsmen are showing different confidence. Yes, there has been some great scoring and partnerships and some good individual performances with the bat too. But the reason behind the poor statistics of the bowlers is this rule itself.”

Devon Conway supports two bouncer rule Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Sportstar, Devon Conway said – The two bouncer rule is quite good for the bowlers to face the long standing challenge in T20 cricket. It is a valuable addition to the game. These rules have enabled the bowlers as they can now reduce the guessing factor by the batsmen. Conway further said- After this rule, bowlers are able to put some pressure on the batsman in different situations of the match. This rule is applicable in IPL, and we have seen some benefits of this rule here. I don’t see why this can’t be the ideal situation in international cricket now. On the other hand, if we give you information about Conway, he is currently recovering from his injury. Also, there is every possibility of him playing for New Zealand team in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Also, these days he can be seen cheering for his team Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.

“Is it a game of 11 players or…” This star player got angry after Rohit Sharma on Impact Player Rule, know what he said?
I’m not a big fan of the Impact Player rule: David Miller David Miller. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) The ‘Impact Player’ rule in IPL has started from 2023. This rule was brought to make cricket more exciting but now cricketers seem unhappy about it. What is Impact Player Rule? Before implementing the Impact Player Rule in IPL 2023, BCCI implemented it in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2023, where good results were achieved, after which it was also introduced in the T20 league. At any time during the game, one of them – called an impact player – can replace any member of the playing-11. The Impact Player rule makes an IPL match a 12-player competition for each team, while reducing the need for an all-rounder.’ David Miller is also unhappy with this rule David Miller, the great batsman of South Africa and Gujarat Titans, has also expressed his displeasure regarding this rule. He said on this- “I’m not a big fan of the Impact Player rule. IPL has been a trial and there is a lot of hype about it. The game of cricket has always been of 11 players. As Rohit said, this rule has no meaning in international cricket so what is the point of keeping it. “This rule means that you have 6 bowlers, 8 batsmen and no all-rounder. If they want to keep it, I don’t know what decision they will take, but it is difficult for some all-rounders to bowl to.” What did Rohit Sharma say about the Impact Player rule? “I’m not a big fan of the impact rule. This will hold back the all-rounders, ultimately cricket is played by 11 players and not 12 players. You’re taking a lot out of the game to make it entertaining for the people around. If you look at it from the cricketing aspect, I think people like Shivam Dubey and Washington Sundar are not getting a chance to bowl, which is not a good thing for us.”
