“All bowlers will need to be hitters…”- R Ashwin on Impact Player rule
R Ashwin (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) There have been a lot of changes in IPL with the advent of Impact Player rule. Teams have the opportunity to choose an additional bowler and batsman as per their requirement. But many big players have given their opinion regarding this rule. From Virat to Rohit Sharma, everyone has given their reaction. In this series, now Team India and Rajasthan Royals’ veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given his opinion on this rule. Ashwin is not happy with the impact player rule. He has said that in the coming times, bowlers will have to become hitters. Player of the match Ravichandran Ashwin spoke about the Impact Player rule on JioCinema’s Match Center Live show and said, “If there was no Impact Player rule, the scores would have been the same.” On the Impact Player rule, Ashwin further said, “In my opinion, the batsmen have more confidence and the pitches have been standardized everywhere. In the future, all bowlers will need to be hitters, because we know that no matter how well we bowl, we need to be able to bat as well. This game is moving in that direction.” R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding his bowling in IPL 2024 Regarding his bowling, Ashwin said that the first half was not good for him because he came to play IPL 2024 after playing a Test series. His body was not feeling fresh. Ashwin said on his bowling, “My tournament was divided into two parts. The first part was after the Test series, so my body was not feeling fresh. My arm speed was not good and I was also injured. I played despite the injury, but I didn’t get much or frequent bowling time. I am someone who depends on repetition of bowling. 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.”
“Have you seen this happening in any other country?”- Ashwin rebuked the fans who trolled Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya & R Ashwin (Photo Source: Hardik Pandya had a very bad start as a player and captain in IPL 2024. Fans are continuously booing Hardik, while he is also being trolled a lot on social media. Let us tell you that before the 17th season, MI had appointed Hardik Pandya as the captain in place of Rohit Sharma. All the fans were very angry with the decision to make Hardik the captain. Hardik had captained Gujarat Titans (GT) in the last two seasons and performed well as captain there. But since getting the captaincy of MI, he has been continuously the target of fans. Meanwhile, India’s veteran spinner R Ashwin has now come out in support of Hardik. He has scolded the fans for misbehaving with Hardik. Ashwin gave class to fans who misbehaved with Hardik Pandya Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “Have you seen this happening in any other country? Have you seen the fans of Joe Root and Jack Crawley fighting? Or have you seen the fans of Joe Root and Jos Buttler fighting? this is madness. Have you seen the fans of Steve Smith and Pat Cummins fighting in Australia? I have said it many times. This is cricket. This is a cinema culture. I know there are things like marketing, positioning and branding. I don’t deny it. I don’t believe in all this from my side but it is not wrong to be involved in it either.” The spinner further said, “Fans war should never go down this useless path. We must remember which country these players represent – our country. Then what is the justification for targeting a cricketer? I don’t think why should a team issue an explanation if you don’t like a player and take aim at a player? We behave as if this has never happened before. Sourav Ganguly played under Sachin Tendulkar and later the opposite happened. Both of them have played under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. All three have played under the captaincy of Anil Kumble and all of them have played under the leadership of Dhoni. When they played under Dhoni, all three were legends. Dhoni has also played under the leadership of Virat.”
