Shubman Gill Slams 'Impact Player' Rule: "Cricket is a game of 11, not 12"

• Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill expressed concern over the IPL's 'Impact Player' rule, stating it diminishes skill and challenge.
• Gill, along with other captains like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, urged BCCI to review the rule in a Mumbai meeting.
• He believes the rule, implemented in 2023 and extended until 2027, makes the game one-sided by adding an extra batsman or bowler.
• Gill finds chasing 160-180 on a challenging pitch more exciting than 220 on an easy one, highlighting reduced strategic play.
• The BCCI will make a final decision on the 'Impact Player' rule only after 2027, despite captains' objections.
