Where bowlers are already being challenged, I find that imbalance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With increasingly batting-friendly surfaces producing record scores in recent seasons, Tendulkar believes the rule has exacerbated an already uneven contest between bat and ball.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation has also drawn criticism from several prominent players, including India captain Shubman Gill and former skipper Rohit Sharma, who have argued that the rule takes the skill out of the game and diminishes the value of all-rounders.<\/p>\n<p>Tendulkar suggested modifying the PowerPlay structure by introducing a bowling PowerPlay alongside the existing batting one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(In) the PowerPlay of six overs with field restrictions, only two fielders are allowed outside the ring. Let the first four overs be batters\u2019 PowerPlay with the same field restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPost that, the remaining two PowerPlay overs should be determined by the fielding captain as and when he wants to take. Those two consecutive overs will also get one fielder extra outside the ring at any stage of the game,\u201d Tendulkar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you (the fielding side) are able to control the game better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The batting great also proposed increasing the bowling quota of one player per team from four overs to five, allowing sides to utilise their premier bowler for a larger portion of the innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne bowler should be allowed to bowl five overs. Because invariably the best bowler of the side is going to bowl that fifth over. Wouldn\u2019t you want to see that best bowler bowl more? The top batters are batting sometimes even 20 overs. Why shouldn\u2019t the best bowler be bowling five overs?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on May 31, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-news\/sachin-tendulkar-new-ipl-rules-proposal-scrap-impact-player-bowling-powerplay-five-overs-best-bowler\/article71044186.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar wants the controversial impact player rule to be scrapped while also suggesting a couple of changes to restore the balance between bat and ball in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
