Indian cricket fans are enthusiastic about the Big Bash League's new Designated Batter (DB) rule, which allows a player to bat exclusively after being designated, similar to baseball's Designated Hitter. This change could prolong the playing careers of prominent cricketers like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. There is also speculation that the Indian Premier League (IPL) might adopt this rule, potentially enabling fans to enjoy their favorite players for a longer period.
