Just like you, we are also excited about this rule and how it will help the IPL Teams. So without wasting time let’s get into the factors of this rule. According to this Impact Player Rule teams can name 4 substitute players apart from their XI players in the team. If any one of the players on the team gets injured and gets unable to perform, the team can replace that non performing player with a replacement player and this replacement player will be called the Impact Player. After getting the Impact Player on the field team cannot reassign the old player back to the field. The Impact Player is cannot act as a captain or bowler as well. The IPL team needs to pick their 4 substitute players during the toss only Out of the 4 substitute players, only 1 can be picked as the Impact player An Indian player can play as an Impact Player if the team has less than 4 overseas players in XI At the same time, IPL teams can use an overseas player in the team of 4 substitute players and can use him as an Impact Player. However, if there is one overseas player, that IPL team cannot use one more overseas player on the field for any reason.
