Impact Player is a challenging rule – KKR Head Coach Chandrakantha Pandit
The organizing committee is planning to implement the IPL’s Impact Player rule from the 2023 edition.
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Chandrakant Pandit feels that the new influencer rule will be a challenge for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL). However, he also said his team is ready for a tricky substitution rule.
The IPL has introduced some new rules for its 16th edition, which begins on March 31. One of the new innovations is the Impact Player rule, where a team can substitute one player during a live game. According to this rule, teams are allowed to name five substitute players and one of them can be introduced as an impact player if the team wants.
It will be interesting to see how the team management uses this new rule to its advantage. Chandrakant revealed that Knight Riders have already identified their impact player but it depends on the opposition and the match situation.

Impact Player ஒரு சவாலான விதி – கே. கே. ஆர் தலைமை பயிற்சியாளர் சந்திரகாந்த பண்டிட்
2023ஆம் ஆண்டு முதல் ஐபிஎல்-ன் இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயர் விதியை அமல்படுத்த ஏற்பாட்டுக் குழு திட்டமிட்டுள்ளது.
கொல்கத்தா நைட் ரைடர்ஸ் அணியின் தலைமை பயிற்சியாளர் சந்திரகாந்த் பண்டிட், வரவிருக்கும் இந்தியன் பிரீமியர் லீக் 2023 (ஐபிஎல்) க்கு புதிய செல்வாக்குமிக்க விதி சவாலாக இருக்கும் என்று கருதுகிறார். இருப்பினும், தந்திரமான மாற்று விதிக்கு தனது அணி தயாராக இருப்பதாகவும் அவர் கூறினார்.
மார்ச் 31ம் தேதி தொடங்கும் 16வது சீசனுக்காக ஐபிஎல் சில புதிய விதிகளை அறிமுகப்படுத்தியுள்ளது. புதிய கண்டுபிடிப்புகளில் ஒன்று இம்பாக்ட் பிளேயர் விதியாகும், அங்கு ஒரு அணி நேரடி ஆட்டத்தின் போது ஒரு வீரரை மாற்ற முடியும். இந்த விதியின் படி, அணிகள் ஐந்து மாற்று வீரர்களை பெயரிட அனுமதிக்கப்படுகிறது மற்றும் அவர்களில் ஒருவரை அணி விரும்பினால் தாக்க வீரராக அறிமுகப்படுத்தலாம்.
இந்த புதிய விதியை அணி நிர்வாகம் எவ்வாறு தனக்கு சாதகமாக பயன்படுத்துகிறது என்பதைப் பார்ப்பது சுவாரஸ்யமாக இருக்கும். நைட் ரைடர்ஸ் ஏற்கனவே தங்கள் தாக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்தும் வீரரை அடையாளம் கண்டுவிட்டதாக சந்திரகாந்த் வெளிப்படுத்தினார், ஆனால் அது எதிரணி மற்றும் போட்டியின் சூழ்நிலையைப் பொறுத்தது.

Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026
Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.
The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.
Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.
While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
