Faf du Plessis, the vice-captain of Delhi Capitals, was impressed by teammate Ashutosh Sharma’s outstanding performance in the IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants. Ashutosh, playing as an Impact Player on his debut, scored an unbeaten 66 off 31 balls to help Delhi secure a one-wicket victory. Du Plessis jokingly mentioned that he would start drinking more masala tea to match Ashutosh’s hitting abilities. Despite initial doubts about the pitch and the team’s position, Ashutosh’s remarkable innings proved to Du Plessis the importance of the Impact Player rule in such situations. The rule has faced criticism but Du Plessis believes it can turn games around and provide opportunities for players to shine. The BCCI has decided to keep the rule until 2027 based on discussions during a recent captain’s meeting. Du Plessis’ support for the rule stems from Ashutosh’s exceptional performance, highlighting the impact it can have in challenging circumstances.
