IPL: Travis Head has continued his red hot run of form, after he smashed 89 from just 32-deliveries against Ricky Ponting's Delhi Capitals.
This season’s Indian Premier League has comfortably been the highest-scoring edition of the tournament courtesy of a controversial rule that’s proven a “nightmare” for players and coaches.
Flat pitches and short boundaries are partly responsible for the sudden influx of runs, but the IPL’s impact player has been identified as the true culprit.The impact player rule, introduced to the IPL last year, allows teams to replace a member of its starting XI with a substitute at any point in the match. For example, teams can replace one of their bowlers with an additional batter during a run chase, or vice versa if they bat first.
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting confessed the rule was “a bit of a nightmare”, but stopped short of calling for it to be scrapped. “From a player’s and a coach’s point of view, the game would be much easier if you just pick 11, just pick your best 11 and put the 11 on the park and go and play.
