The New Substitute Rule in the IPL

Rohit Sharma not taking the field in first innings and then batting in second innings. Is this just good flexibility or is it just sort of pushing the side of the spirit of the new regulation a little bit? Is it just all spare in love and war? Well, it's an interesting talking point about what sort of pitch competition like the IPL or indeed any franchise tournament should be played on. We'll have to think about it and say, hold on. We could do someone like Nithish Rana as an example. He might fetch a higher price because they know half the tournaments can be played on turning pitches.
