David Miller has supported Rohit Sharma's opinion on the impact player rule and said that is taking all-rounders out of contention and is creating 6 bowlers and 8 batters. Earlier, Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma also criticised the rule and the players are holding back the promising all-rounders.
Rohit on Impact player rule
Rohit Sharma openly expressed his disagreement on the impact of player rule. He said the game is ultimately played with 11 players, not 12. He also highlighted this rule is not allowing players like Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar to showcase their bowling skills.
"I am not a big fan of Impact sub rule. It is going to hold all rounders back, eventually cricket is played by 11 players not 12 players. You are taking out so much from game to make it entertaining for people around. If you look just from the cricketing aspect of it I feel guys like Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar aren't getting to bowl, which for us is not a good thing," Rohit said on 'Club Prairie Fire' podcast.
Miller supports Rohit
Miller also supported Rohit's statement and said this does not exist in International cricket and the game should be kept similar to the International level.
"Everyone has got their opinions about it but for me I am not a massive fan of the rule. The game of cricket has 11 players and it would be nice to stick to that. Rohit said that international cricket is not like that and I feel it's better to keep it the same as international cricket. It's creating 6 bowlers and 8 batters, taking all-rounders out of contention. At the end of the rule is there so we have to play according to the rule," PTI quoted Miller.
Miller and Gujarat Titans will be returning to action against Delhi Capitals/ The game will be crucial for both sides and their journey ahead in the race to playoffs.
