Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Mohammed Siraj wants the impact sub rule scrapped. There has been a lot of chatter around the impact substitute rule in the IPL, with criticism over how it limits the potentials of all-rounders in the side, apart from other topics of discussion. Speaking ahead of KKR vs RCB, Siraj opines that with the wickets already being flat, batters are swinging at everything while the bowlers have no help.
Siraj wants Impact sub rule to be done away with in IPL
“It’s important to be comfortable, if you think too much, it’ll lead to negativity and frustrations, so I always try to be as positive as possible, try to close all negative connotations around me. Please remove this impact sub thing (laughs), the wickets are already flat and there’s nothing for the bowlers in it, previously, it used to be slow at times, but the batters now come out swinging at absolutely everything,” Siraj said.

Further, he also revealed his roadmap in IPL 2024, following a disastrous start to the campaign. The stars makes his return to the playing XI against KKR at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
“My game plan is to be consistent, if a good ball gets hit, so be it. It was a long time that teams made 250+, but it has become such a common feature now (thanks to impact sub and the flat pitches). It’s been a long time since I’ve played a day game, I last played a day game during the Test series against England, but we’re professionals and we have no excuses,” Siraj added.
