Fielders Must Back Bowlers Who Are Under The Pump Due To Batters Attacking Hard In IPL, Says Rhodes
European T20 Premier League: Jonty Rhodes, the former South Africa fielding stalwart who is now the co-owner of the Rotterdam franchise in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), said the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has created a relentless batting environment that leaves bowlers under the pump and that only exceptional fielding can offer them any relief.
Rhodes’ comments come against the backdrop of a bruising IPL 2026 season for bowlers, where even ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, has been carted for huge runs and picked just two wickets in seven games. The imbalance between bat and ball has prompted growing debate about whether the tournament's playing conditions have swung too far in favour of batters, especially with the Impact Player rule in picture.
"I just think that the fact that the impact player rule, which has come in just means that there's an extra batter in your team and in 20 overs, if you play aggressively, you can still keep taking risks. So, yes, you can impact another bowler in, but we know that in T20 cricket, the surface is good. There's often not a lot of the bowlers, who don't often have the edge.
