Ms dhoni on impact player rule in ipl 2025: MS Dhoni, who has made Chennai Super Kings 5 times under his captaincy, has openly expressed his opinion on the Impact Player Rules. This rule has been in controversies ever since it has been implemented. Many are in its favor, and many believe that it has caused damage to all -rounders players. Dhoni believes that it is not that big scores in IPL are being made by playing additional players, but it is due to the mindset in exchange for players. He believes that the Impact Player Rules have not benefited him. He does not even consider himself an impact player.
Speaking at the ‘The MSD Experience’ on Jio-Hotter, MS Dhoni said, “When the Impact Player Rules came into force, I felt that this rule is not required at that time. This rule ever helps me but most of the time does not happen. I still do wickets, I am not an impact player. I have to come in felting.”
Impact player is not the reason for big scores in IPL
MS Dhoni also believes that big scores are now being made in IPL, the reason for this is not the impact player rule. He said, ‘Many people believe that due to the impact player rules, big scores are being made in IPL. But according to me, this is happening due to the relaxed mindset and circumstances of the players. An additional batsman is not scoring so much runs but it is due to the mindset. The teams are comfortable that they have an additional batsman, so the batsmen are playing more decorated. The confidence increases their confidence because it is not that all 4-5 batsmen are being fed.
On the question asked about Ravelri against Mumbai Indians, he said that ‘I want to score against all the teams as a batsman. According to how the team needs me, you try to bat.
Not opposed, it matters
MS Dhoni said about the opposing team that it does not matter to them which team is in front of them but victory for them matters. However, he also believes that if there is talk about the rivalry between the two teams, then it is a good thing for the entire IPL tournament.
