Impact Player rule has disrupted balance of game: Virat Kohli

India's Virat Kohli has criticised the Impact Player substitution rule, which he believes disrupts the balance of the game. The mid-innings substitution rule, adopted in the previous edition of the IPL, has sparked a row with India skipper Rohit Sharma. Kohli has urged for a rethink of the rule, stating that it will hold back all-rounders and that cricket is played by 11, not 12. The rule has led to eight 250-plus totals in the current edition, and Kohli believes that bowlers should not be dominant in the game.
