'In Future, Bowlers Also Need To Be Hitters': Ashwin On Impact Player Rule
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels that in the future bowlers will also need to be good at hitting in the T20s as the introduction of impact player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has made their role difficult.
Ashwin's remark came after the four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Eliminator clash at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. The off-sinner has joined the list of players including India captain Rohit Sharma and others who have criticised the rule in the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league.
"Even if the Impact Player rule wasn't there, scores would be this high. In my opinion, batters have more confidence and pitches everywhere have been standardized. In the future, all bowlers will need to be hitters because we know that no matter how well we bowl, we also need to be able to bat. The game is headed in that direction," Ashwin told JioCinema.
