The majority of fans, but not the players or the commentators, are against the impact player rule. Has anyone involved in the development of this rule given the players and commentators any directives?

It will be very surprising if MB Sharafudeen doesn't get back with the Kerala team and then hopefully gets an IPL contract.
#KCL2024#KeralaCricketLeague
CSK should play Theekshana in the playing 11, even if they drop a overseas batter and if Mitchell is playing, he should bat at number 3.
#IPL24#CSKvsPBKS
The most disturbing fact for RR is that, KKR will delay their spinners now and bring them when Hetmyer/Powell comes out to bat.
RR should have taken the risk of sending Hetmyer when the rate was around 10.
#IPL2024#KKRvsRR
RR's lower middle is weak, given their struggle against spinners. Both Powell and Hetmyer cannot be send when spinners like Varun and Narine is bowling, forcing Ashwin to bat higher up the order in this 220+ chase.
#IPL2024
If Patidar bats like this, RCB should play 2 overseas bowlers and replace one foreign batter.
RCB playing with these many overseas batters is doing no good at all anyways.

Also Curran's performance has also declined significantly over the past few years. He is yet to take a wicket in the powerplay in IPL since 2022 and has a overall strike rate of 27 in T20s since 2023 in first six. (96 overs, 21 wickets)
PBKS batting unit looks very fragile. It wont be an easy chase for the hosts if couple of wickets goes down in the powerplay.
Raza should get the nod above Curran in the 11. It makes no sense playing with four front line seamers when your batting looks this weak.

There's a lot of talk about the SRH captain. For better team balance, Cummins captaining the side is better, but if the management involves more on decision-making than the captain then whoever captains does not make sense.
#IPL2024#SRH#Markram
Either Klaasen should have been at the crease between 6 - 8th overs or Mulder should have attacked more at the start. Can't blame Mulder because he batted in a similar way throughout this SA20.
#SA20
If Klaasen came to bat earlier, it would have forced Markram to bowl a few overs of pace in that situation. Also it would allow de Kock to bat more freely.
This happened many times in #Ipl23 and now in SA20. Earlier this season, happened once vs MICT also.
#SA20
The super giants franchise are known to delay their best batter in difficult situations.
Delaying Pooran in #LSG and now Klaasen in #DSG.
Klaasen should have been in place of Mulder at that stage. It could have unsettled the spinners high time in that situation.
#SA20
Feel sad for DSG.
Pooran, Stoinis and Klaasen could have been a heck of a middle order but were forced to play with Mulder and Pretorius as their middle order batters.
#SA20
I'm not saying this because of Bharat's low string of runs but someone who can play aggressively in that position will have a massive impact on the result.
Pant's greatest strength in Test was unsettling the opposition team which Bharat is not even one percentage close to.
When Pant replaced Saha in Test, there was a massive difference in the result of every Test.
Likewise, Sanju being the better batter than Bharat can be tried out in Test. Nothing against Jurel, but 60FC>15FC.

40 year old Madsen
Faf with 39 with career done 36 year old Moeen Ali
and newbie Imran Tahir .
Tells a lot about experience in crucial matches.

Also not to forget Bracewell just conceded seven runs in the final over against Klaasen.
Klaasen could have extended the target easily by 10-15 runs more.
#SA20#JSK
DSG could have bowled out Noor in one stretch given the fact that both Keemo Paul and Pretorius are not known to ball tight spells.
#SA20@SA2020#JSK#DSG
Spinners bowling in the middle phase was their strength and DSG tried something different today. This was the only match where DSG failed to get a minimum of 3 wickets in between 7-15 overs this season.
