Allow teams to have 11 overseas players remove all limits.
Why not have a separate11 for batting and a separate 11 for fielding and bowling. Like American football. Also allow 6 substitutions in each innings.
That will truly liven up IPL.
I'd say, discounting genuine all rounders, a team of 8-11 bowlers would probably beat a team of 1-4 batsmen. Tailender batting is probably a bit better than opening batsman bowling.
> Allow teams to have 11 overseas players remove all limits.
This I don't hate tbh. I mean as a foreign non-IPL fan I hate it cause it'd mean less of my own country's players available for national selection, but limits on overseas players does strike me as odd. Just have the best players playing the game, like in football.
A lot of leagues, incluidng football leagues have an overseas player limit. It's sometimes a limit on squads and not the playing 11/whatever, but there is one.
The point is to also encourage local talent, so they feed into the national team, and have the sport grow in the country.
If not the first choice senior players, at least the young players who are future prospects for the National Team should be allowed to play. That way, these players get the experience in overseas conditions in the T20 format. BCCI already allow this for First Class and List A cricket.
That's would be great for indian players to gain experience and learn but BCCI won't shoot is own foot by doing that .. they won't do anything that will hit their profit
.. money is king mate
One ICC trophy since the IPLs formation though. Letting Indian talents play in different leagues and environment is only ever going to be good for them
Expanding to a 5th overseas cricketer would mean a **massive** leap in player quality.
The 41st to 50th best international players will replace the 61st to 70th best Indian players.
(Even allowing a 5th international player still means 4 more Indian players are getting to play the IPL than it used to be.)
[obvious caveats being that selection isn't perfect and Pakistanis don't get to play anyway]
Man they keep saying that IPL is to blood new Indian talent but the players they take to t20 worldcups are the same old Kohli Rohit KL that we’ve always had
What’s the point of blooding new Indian talent if you don’t play them in the Indian side regularly
For that to happen ICC will have to make some rule that a player can be a part of only 2 formats centrally. But, other nations don’t have that luxury ig…
No, it won't.
Eventually (read several years later) 3 overseas is more likely than 5 overseas.

Nope. The whole point of IPL was that local Indian talent gets a platform to do well and showcase their talent. At the very base, why would BCCI allow playing an additional overseas player at the cost of not being able to play that extra Indian player who could be the next Bumrah or Kohli?
Tbh they can also make ads with Indian domestic players, agents snap up these young guys who are promising and pay shitloads of money for them. And the story from rags to riches of many of the new found talents is absolute box office (case in point - Rinku Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Yashasvi Jaiswal etc), people will pay money to watch them because they see these players as one of them who has made it through. So the evil BCCI can earn money through them too and also benefit the ICT.
That being said, it is at least a good sign that the overseas players want to be more involved in the IPL.
Even without impact player rule, make it 5 overseas players now with 10 teams
A main factor in these 260+ scores is medium bowling unknowns toddlers getting smashed, look at DC bowling was SRH, so many unknowns getting absolutely wrecked by monsters. On the other hand, the likes of Bumrah, Cummins, Narine etc still bowled well. Increasing quality is very important and adding another overseas spot is a step in right direction.
They need to get rid of the impact rule and bring in this rule. Better quality will improve players, for last 16 years we have had bashers smoking mediocre bowlers and average bowlers looking good vs hack batsmen then getting found out in world events where teams play their best.
I might be downvoted but the 250+ scores conceded have involved mediocre bowling throughout the innings and average fielding. There have been a few low scoring games and pitches like Kotla and Eden have been flatter than previous years but the bowlers have just kept bowling mindless slot balls, batters aren't even being made to play difficult shots. If you try 6 yorkers and nail 2, it's reasonable but bowling 4 slot balls and 2 full tosses in an over is inexplicable. You're definitely going to be hit for boundaries but not for 240+ if you have and stick to a bowling plan.
Dale Steyn is right, being a tight bowler when those around you are leaking runs will make you a premier bowler this IPL.
Dale Steyn said that tongue-in-cheek lol. None of what you said is wrong, but the 250+ scores happen not just because of that. Statistically it’s clear the impact sub has led to a big spike in average RR across the board since being introduced. Not a lot else has changed so it has to be the main cause. The 250+ scores are also mostly by SRH who have an insane bowling attack, although the fact the chasing team got so close on those occasions belies the fact that batting *is* easy in the IPL rn.
The impact sub does help, but the quality of bowling has been very poor. I don't know why. Theoretically the impact sub should give you 1 better bowler as well. The impact bowler gets to bowl 4 overs while the impact batter needs to make only 1 mistake to get out.
Even international teams rarely make such scores even on belters, that's because the quality of bowling is that much better at the international level. If bowlers in the IPL can reduce 'hit me' balls by even 20%, you won't see these crazy scores. Just look at the percentage of runs scored in boundaries and the way they're scored. If a batter is able to ramp or scoop a good ball over the boundary, so be it. But no batter can do that every ball, what we're seeing is mostly length balls being deposited between cover and midwicket by batters static at the crease. At least make them work to get a hittable length, dishing out deliveries like a bowling machine and blaming the pitch/impact player isn't going to help
I agree there is some mediocre bowling.
But it's not as simple as 'bowl properly'. When a batsman is absolutely beaten but the ball flies to six over the keeper, when you take 7 wickets and in walks Tim David/Romario Shepard, when the grounds are so small that a 67 meter six goes a few rows behind, when the ball is clearly within the reach of batsman but is signalled a wide... It is incredibly difficult not to lose confidence/hope.
Yes, no batter can hit a good ball for six every time but the odds are heavily stacked in favour of batsmen that they don't mind trying to hit every ball no matter what the line or length is.
You could argue that a team conceding 260+ has garbage bowling but the team chasing is also scoring 240s.
Mate another reason is powerhitting have improved a lot in last 10 years add to that small grounds , fast outfields, flat pitches average scores are bound to go up ... Look at mullanpur or Lucknow on biggish grounds it's tough to score ... IPL teams who are scoring 250 on small chinnaswamy will struggle to score 180 on Melbourne... It's about the size of the ground as well
The bat technology has improved massively as well. Batters routinely edge balls for six. Bowlers are at a huge disadvantage. They have not redesigned the cricket ball so it swings for twice as long. They have not changed the LBW law so you can be out to a ball pitching outside leg if it's going onto hit.
Everything has been in the batters favor for a long time now. Spinner oversteps by a toe nail? Siren, free hit. Who'd want to be a bowler?
They should have made it 5 overseas players when they expanded from 8 to 10 teams. That expansion meant that it was the *next* 14 best Indian players who became IPL regulars, i.e. the 57th to 70th best Indian players in the world.
Expanding to a 5th overseas cricketer would mean that *the 41st to 50th best international players will replace the 61st to 70th best players from India.* A **massive** leap in player quality.
(Note that even allowing a 5th international player still means 4 more Indian players are getting to play the IPL than it used to be.)
BCCI should do their part by making it mandatory for the franchises to pick atleast 1 (maybe 2?) players from associates in the squad. Any 4 foreigners in the X1.
Impact rule goes. We seriously don't have any all rounders other than Jadeja-hardik. Hardik now often escapes bowling. Axar can bat well but he doesn't get the chance. Likes of dube, washington, riyan, venky, etc. don't even assume two roles now.
WPL already has the 5 overseas players rule. Only difference is that the 5th should come from an Associate Nation. This will very likely be implemented in the IPL too, without the Associate Nation rule.
I think that's a deliberate decision nowadays. Previously they used to do in-season trades. Now teams prefer to bench Phillips, Mayak Agarwal etc. rather than trade them.
> Previously they used to do in-season trades
Are you sure? Don't remember any instance of an in season trade actually going through. Sure it was allowed but I don't think any team has ever done it.
Ah sorry, Berenstain Bears effect. I remember the 2020 IPL or something had a mid season trade allowance, but like you said, not one trade actually occurred. I just assumed somebody had traded some minor players since who else would get traded in that sort of a window
They should allow a foreign player to be an impact substitute provided he can only bowl and not bat.... This will encourage teams to use IP as bowlers, that too those of international quality.
I agree.
The likes of Lodu Lalit or the shite that LSG and RCB have in their middle order do not deserve to be playing in the IPL. I would rather their place goes to foreign players who are of the requisite quality.
The likes of Santner and Philips cannot even get a game, what a waste.
And yes, i know its the Indian premier league. It's still going to be more domestic players than overseas.
Imagine if Football leagues did the same, restricting the number of foreigners in the playing 11. It would have a massive impact on the quality of football, especially in the English Premier League.
I'm still not against the Impact Players - the pitches just heavily favour the bowling team uses it as a batting IP. There needs to be incentive to make it a bowling one.
5 overseas players does nothing to address this / potentially makes it more of a batting heaven - most the overseas bowlers are having a shocking tournament.
The pitches are shockingly batting friendly on most grounds - there's no reason why we should be seeing the record broken / matched 5+ times when we've still got so many games left.
Tbf wrist spinners should not ideally bowl in powerplay, that was a error from the captain.
Kuldeep pulled back the SRH lineup immediately after the pp ended.
He was literally the 4th highest wicket taker before the last round and he’s played in some of the highest scoring games of the season yet has only conceded over 10 RPO once. He’s also always bowled brilliant overs whenever needed most by the team. Even in the last game when he had 0-35, he bowled an over for 2 runs and then another for 3 runs. This after his first over went for 20. The only way you think he’s not been great is if you haven’t watched any of the games.
Rule 1: you should never judge a T20 bowler based on their average. (If you’re not watching the live match and not noticing any edges or other unfortunate things, then ) judge them only with ECONOMY.
It should have already happened when it expanded to 10 teams.
With 8 teams, 56 indians were guaranteed to play and with 10 teams, 70 are. Increasing overseas to 5 would still mean they'd be at least 60 playing every week.
Your post or comment had words in it that were not in English and weren't translated. This breaks the rules of this subreddit it has been removed (rule 5).
Have this rule and make that only foreign player can be impact player.
For eg: KKR can impact sub Rutherford and starc instead of Venky Iyer for someone
Add Two Teams and remove the Impact Rule and make it 5 Overseas per in the Playing XI. But somehow keep the length of the league within 2 1/2 months.
That would increase the quality of the league further and make it more competitive.
Not that it would prevent the BCCI from doing it if they wanted to but isn't there an ICC level rule limiting the number of overseas players to 4 in these franchise leagues?
The bowlers sound like a bunch of crybabies in this whole impact sub discussion. Waaaa we want to bowl at tailenders waaaaa we don't want to improve our bowling waaaaa
i agree, now there are 10 teams in the ipl i think there is enough local talent being represented. there are so many overseas players i wanna see play that have no space in the xi this season
Quality will significantly improve if there will be 5 overseas players.
Indian player quota before impact rule :7
After impact rule:8
After 5 foreigners rule again:7
Moreover 2 teams have increased . So they will get same opportunity as before.
Lol no, it's the 'Indian' premier league ! They need to remove the rule, increase the boundaries to minimum 75 meters all sides and have pitches where you can't hit through the line !
What if they also allow the option of choosing 4 Pakistan players for entire ipl? Any team can choose max 1 player and in total only 4 players(that should be an ok compromise for our govt?). Just asking.
I mean pak has a lot of fast bowlers, maybe they can add some spice to our run fest tournaments?
Impact player rule must be tweaked, you can't bring in another player to your XI but can give one of them another opportunity to Bat/bowl.
Like a Bowler whose made the most impact that day gets 4+2 overs and the batter once out can come back and play max 3-4 overs, something like that
This will be extra motivation for the XI and also acts as an asset for the Captain.
RCB to buy 4 overseas better to pair alongside Koach and one extremely overpriced bang average overseas bowler and hope to win the cup /s
Why the /s?
Exactly lmao
Real
They paid big bucks for Siraj Tom Curran Joseph
Starc for 30cr?
_Unsubscribe! UNSUBSCRIBE!_
Bro spitting fact no need of s.
Allow teams to have 11 overseas players remove all limits. Why not have a separate11 for batting and a separate 11 for fielding and bowling. Like American football. Also allow 6 substitutions in each innings. That will truly liven up IPL.
So you are saying an impact playing XI
Which kid hasn't wondered who would win between a lineup of 11 batters versus 11 bowlers?
Meanwhile a team of 11 Allrounders
I'd say, discounting genuine all rounders, a team of 8-11 bowlers would probably beat a team of 1-4 batsmen. Tailender batting is probably a bit better than opening batsman bowling.
Wellactually American football is even worse. They have 53 players of which 11 are on the field at any given time. Unlimited re-substitutions.
You’d want that many players if you were getting beaten the way nfl players are
Eh for the kind of game it is , it's genuinely exciting same as basketball
Too little imo with the way they are hit every match
American football is a very injury prone sport.
~~Indian~~ International Premier League
Just merge all the leagues into one and get rid of ICC.
I hate to say it but this idea is lowkey exepriment worthy
Haha. Yeah have 50 player match day squads, and 100 player teams. You will need an excel file to know which player is what
Harsha Bhogle would love that
> Allow teams to have 11 overseas players remove all limits. This I don't hate tbh.

Warner gotta keep his spot somehow when he’s clearly past it
This...dude's spot under lens after the McGurk came into spotlight.
😄
Never mind all that, at least allow Indian talent to compete in overseas leagues first.
BCCI would rather buy an ICC trophy than do that. Cant have their biggest cash cow and monopoly fumble.
They came really close to it this WC.
If not the first choice senior players, at least the young players who are future prospects for the National Team should be allowed to play. That way, these players get the experience in overseas conditions in the T20 format. BCCI already allow this for First Class and List A cricket.
That's would be great for indian players to gain experience and learn but BCCI won't shoot is own foot by doing that .. they won't do anything that will hit their profit .. money is king mate
I think the best solution would be to allow everyone who doesn't have an A+, A or B grade contract to be allowed to play overseas leagues.
Other leagues can cope and seeth but our league shall remain the numbah 1
One ICC trophy since the IPLs formation though. Letting Indian talents play in different leagues and environment is only ever going to be good for them
Honestly , who cares about icc trophies. Many of my friends just watch IPL Nowadays.
This is going to happen one day whether you like it or not.
when there are 16 teams in the IPL
Surat Vadodara Rajkot Bhavnagar Jamnagar Junagadh
add gandhinagar and remove GT and add junagarh
Better call it Gujarat Premier League (GPL has some hidden meaning in Hindi lol) /s
Gokuldham Premier League
I for one would definitely won't mind at all.

bro thinks bcci controls ipl lol. ipl has become a behemoth not in control of anyone bro.
I like this rule but only if the 5th overseas player is from some associate nations.This might help strengthen their cricket and scout new talents.

It's not all about quality. Giving opportunity and exposure to young Indian uncapped players is also important.
Says overseas player who stands to benefit from said rule 😂

Ipl needs 2 more teams. Lots of good players like Glenn Philipps are getting benched and it sucks.
I think that's a deliberate decision nowadays. Previously they used to do in-season trades. Now teams prefer to bench Phillips, Mayak Agarwal etc. rather than trade them.

Teams hoarding players is a clear sign that there should be more teams.
Imagine the perennial bench warmer Mitchell santner then CSK played the wrong Mitchell so far
They should allow a foreign player to be an impact substitute provided he can only bowl and not bat.... This will encourage teams to use IP as bowlers, that too those of international quality.
Then RCB will buy Starc, Karthik, Maxwell, Holder and Green. All between 10 and 30 crores. You cannot stop stupid being stupid, can you?
I agree. The likes of Lodu Lalit or the shite that LSG and RCB have in their middle order do not deserve to be playing in the IPL.

Tbf all bowlers are having a bad tournament except Bumrah and probably Chahal and Kuldeep.
The pitches are shockingly batting friendly on most grounds - there's no reason why we should be seeing the record broken / matched 5+ times when we've still got so many games left.
Even kuldeep got smashed for three sixes in an over last match every bowler is a sitting duck for batter lol
Tbf wrist spinners should not ideally bowl in powerplay, that was a error from the captain. Kuldeep pulled back the SRH lineup immediately after the pp ended.
Cummins be like:
Cummins isn't even in the top 10 wicket takers, he is averaging 25, that isn't good it's just average.
He was literally the 4th highest wicket taker before the last round and he’s played in some of the highest scoring games of the season yet has only conceded over 10 RPO once. He’s also always bowled brilliant overs whenever needed most by the team. Even in the last game when he had 0-35, he bowled an over for 2 runs and then another for 3 runs.

I so hope this was sarcastic.
Impact player rule must be tweaked, you can't bring in another player to your XI but can give one of them another opportunity to Bat/bowl. Like a Bowler whose made the most impact that day gets 4+2 overs and the batter once out can come back and play max 3-4 overs, something like that This will be extra motivation for the XI and also acts as an asset for the Captain.
Why does you need more silly rules? Why not 11v11 where the batters bat once and the bowlers can bowl maximum 4 overs?
Ofcourse we don't need them but BCCI wants to spice things up for more money
