Cricket is played by 11, not 12 (players).&#8221; Kohli echoed these sentiments, highlighting the imbalance caused by the mid-innings substitution rule.<br \/>The current edition of the IPL has witnessed an unprecedented number of high-scoring matches, with eight totals surpassing 250 runs. Punjab Kings set a new record for the highest successful chase in T20 history by overhauling Kolkata Knight Riders&#8217; 262 with eight balls to spare, while Sunrisers Hyderabad posted the highest-ever total in franchise cricket with 287\/3 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Kohli empathized with the bowlers&#8217; struggles in such a batting-dominated environment.<br \/>Kohli emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between bat and ball in cricket, arguing that the beauty of the game lies in the ability to defend modest totals as well. <br \/>&#8220;Bowlers are feeling like what they should do. I have never experienced anything like it where bowlers think they will concede four or a six on every ball.,&#8221; Kohli said.<br \/>&#8220;Not every team has a Bumrah (Jasprit) or the mystery of Rashid Khan,&#8221; he added.<br \/>&#8220;I am telling you, with one extra batter there is a reason I am playing with 200-plus strike rate in the powerplays. I know there is a batsman waiting at No. 8 as well. We are playing a high level of cricket and it should not be that dominant in my opinion. There is a beauty about having an equal balance between bat and ball,&#8221; Kohli stated.<br \/>Jay Shah<!-- -->, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has indicated that the <!-- -->Impact Player rule<!-- --> is a &#8220;test case&#8221; aimed at providing opportunities for two Indian players in each game. <br \/>He has also mentioned that the BCCI will engage with stakeholders to evaluate the rule&#8217;s effectiveness for future IPL editions. Kohli expressed confidence in Shah&#8217;s commitment to reviewing the rule and finding a solution that restores balance to the game.<br \/><span class=\"em strong\">(Inputs from PTI)<\/span><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')<\/p>\n<p>      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }<\/p>\n<p>    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/ipl-2024-virat-kohli-criticises-the-impact-player-rule-says-it-has-disrupted-the-balance\/articleshow\/110228637.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli, a prominent Indian batsman, has joined forces with Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, in criticizing the Impact Player substitution rule, asserting that it is &#8220;disrupting the balance&#8221; of the game.
