Mumbai, Former India captain and Delhi Capitals director of cricket Soura Ganguly is in favor of continuing the influence-player rule in the IPL, but wants teams to decide their choices at the time of the toss.
The impact-player rule has become a hot topic of debate after the recently concluded edition of the IPL, where scores of over 250 were scored eight times.
Ganguly said that he wants the boundaries to be pushed further in the upcoming IP editions.
"I like the impact player rule. My only thing with the IPL is that I want the grounds to be a little bigger," Ganguly told the media on the sidelines of the International Procurement and Supply Tea Conference.The fence should be moved back a bit." Organized by Blue Ocean Corporation.
"It's a great tournament. The only thing you can do with the dominant player is I decide before the toss, so it's a bit of skill there.
The former Indian captain said, “So, reveal the impact players early because it will require a lot of skill and game planning.But, I'm all for the impact player."
Ganguly defended Prithvi Shaw, who has not had a good IPL season this year, saying he is still young and learning the tricks of the shortest format.
“He (Prithvi Shaw) is a young kid. He is just 23 years old. He is still learning how to play T20 cricket.He is a very good talent and he will get better. Sometimes, we expect too much too soon from everyone and I am sure with the skills that Prithvi has, he will do well."
Ganguly said wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant had started playing like the same cricketer before the car accident in 2022.
Ganguly said, "He was brilliant for us (DC) in the IPL. I am very happy to see the way he has come back, because I have always said that he is a special player.,
"Earlier also, I have said that he is exceptional. You wouldn't want such talent to be lost to such devastating reasons (accident). He has worked really hard to get back to where he is and he is the Rishabh Pant of old. Is." ,
Ganguly also expressed hope that the Bengal selectors will pick India wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha as he is expected to return to his home state from Tripura."He wants to play for Bengal and rightly so. He is a Bengal boy," Ganguly said.
"He went to Tripura for two years because he was playing as a professional there. He has completed it and he wants to stay in Bengal. I am sure the selectors will pick him for Bengal."I am not involved in Bengal cricket at the moment. When I completed (my) BCCI tenure, I did not contest for the post of president. I have just taken a break. Whatever the selectors and officials decide, they will do." He added.
