'Doesn’t make sense': Dinesh Karthik on scrapping Impact Player rule before IPL 2027

Dinesh Karthik has expressed his support for maintaining the Impact Player regulation through the conclusion of the current three-year cycle. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru mentor argues that franchises constructed their rosters specifically to utilize this tactical option, and removing it prematurely would create an inequitable competitive landscape.

While acknowledging that the rule has diminished in entertainment value and hindered the development of domestic all-rounders, he maintains that structural changes should only occur at the start of a new tournament cycle.
