IPL 2023: 3 players RCB can use as ‘Impact Player’ in IPL 2023

RCB's most probable 'Impact Players'.

The 16th edition of IPL is set to start on March 31 with an opening match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad. The season will see a total of 70 league-stage matches that will be played across 12 venues for over 52 days.

The new “Impact Player Rule” will be implemented in the upcoming IPL season. The rule was approved for implementation in the IPL after initially being tested in the Syed Mushtaq Ali competition. 

RCB, being one of the most popular and strongest teams in the IPL,  will need to find and enlist a few impact players who can aid them in their ascent to the top.

Here are 3 players that RCB can use as ‘Impact Player’ in IPL 2023:

1. Dinesh Karthik

Karthik can be used as an impact player because he is the team’s established finisher and can adapt to any situation very quickly. Moreover, his experience could prove to be very beneficial for RCB. He represented India in both the T20 World Cup and the Asia Cup, although he was unable to produce any memorable innings. IPL 2023 may be his last IPL season.

2. Rajat Patidar

Patidar contributed significantly to RCB in the last season. In the 8 games he played, he scored 333 runs, including a knock of 112 against the Lucknow Super Giants. In qualifier 2, which Rajasthan Royals ultimately won, he scored 58. He has the potential to be an impact player for RCB. 

3. Shahbaz Ahmed

Shahbaz Ahmed appeared in a couple of cameos with Dinesh Karthik in the last season. If he is employed as an impact player, he can make a difference with both the bat and the ball. Shahbaz made his white-ball debut against South Africa recently.
