‘Is this all we want from Sooryavanshi?’ Ex-India player slams Impact Player rule

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar voiced strong reservations about the IPL's Impact Player rule, fearing it hinders the holistic development of young cricketers like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He argued the rule creates one-dimensional players, limiting their exposure and preventing a full assessment of their all-round abilities. Manjrekar stressed that cricket should test players across disciplines for sustainable success.
