Sam Curran, the acting captain of PBKS, frequently started the batting. The squad suffered greatly since they lacked a suitable player to take advantage of the Impact Player regulation. According to Curran’s opinion, the change has significantly altered the game. Furthermore, he claimed that the regulation itself is a little more ambiguous.
Punjab Kings’ performance in the Indian Premier League 2024 was unimpressive. Following the Mumbai Indians, they were the second team eliminated. After they lost skipper Shikhar Dhawan to injury in the middle of the game, things did not go as planned. Their first partnership turned into a headache, and they experimented with many pairings without success. They were also unable to fully take use of the Impact Player rule.
“I believe the Impact Player rule has made a significant effect, although I suppose the fans and those watching at home would want to just keep seeing tons of sixes. Because they know that if things don’t go according to plan, they can always put in an extra batter at No. 7 or 8, which gives them the opportunity to be slightly more aggressive at the top of the order with the bat. In a way, it has undoubtedly improved the players’ performances and the scores, but on the other hand, good batting lets you to include an extra bowler in your defense, according to Sam Curran.

The regulation has been in place for a few seasons. What will they do with it, who knows? But the score has undoubtedly gone up. The development of batters has been amazing to behold, but maintaining fairness between the bat and the ball will always be a contentious issue, he continued.

Sam Curran did not, however, play in the final two league games for PBKS.
He took a plane to England in advance of his country’s T20I series against Pakistan, which begins today. Furthermore, even though Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Will Jacks’ respective teams are participating in the IPL 2024 Playoffs, they all departed for England. Former Indian cricket players Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan were not pleased with the move and chastised the English players for their choice.
