IPL 2024: Explained: How Yudhvir Singh replaced Mohsin Khan in LSG by playing XI against KKR without applying impact player rule

The referees later concluded that Mohin had suffered a concussion, forcing LSG to make a substitution. For those unfamiliar, the concussion subrule only allows for a like-for-like substitution with the approval of the game referee. This means that it would not have been possible for LSG to field a batter in place of Mohin and they should only replace the pacer with another fast bowler.

The clash between LSG and KKR in Lucknow is only the second time in the history of the IPL that the concussion sub-rule will be applied, although it was introduced in the 2020 season. The first and only example before today was the second qualifier of IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans (MI) and Mumbai Indians (MI) when the latter replaced Ishan Kishan with Vishnu Vinod.

Speaking of the match, a quick knock of 81 in 39 balls from Sunil Narine has put KKR on their way to a score above the 220-run mark.

Yudhvir had an immediate impact on the game when he dismissed Angrish Raghuvanshi on the first ball of his turn.
