As the new season brought with it a level of excitement and uncertainty over how the players will perform, it seems the newly introduced 'Impact Player' rule in the IPL has had teams in as much of a fix as fans and viewers of the game. The rule allows any player from a team's starting XI to be replaced when the game is underway, although it is not as straightforward as it sounds.

A month and two weeks into the edition, several teams have used the provision, but it would certainly be no exaggeration if we say it is yet to make an impact. When Royal Challengers Bangalore took on Mumbai Indians in front of a packed home crowd, Jason Behrendorff became the first overseas Impact Player as the left-arm pacer replaced Suryakumar Yadav.

Behrendorff opened the bowling for Mumbai and conceded just five runs in the first over. But the curse of the Impact Player caught up with the Australian as he eventually went for 37 runs in his three overs without picking a wicket. Soon after, another pacer in another match, who was brought on as Impact Player in place of a specialist batter, met a similar fate, albeit with less disastrous consequences.

Without further ado, here is a list of all 'Impact Players' used in IPL 20023 so far.
