Teams that deployed a batting impact sub while chasing won 56.3% of those 64 matches in IPL 2026 — vs a 61.1% overall chase win rate.
The batting impact substitute is the most common deployment of the IPL impact rule while chasing — used in 64 of 72 tracked matches (89%). Win rate in those matches: 56.3%. The subtlety: teams often deploy the impact slot when a chase is already in trouble — so the 56.3% includes many "rescue" deployments against a counterfactual of likely defeat. The best chase impact knocks weren't rescue acts — Finn Allen's 100(47) (KKR won) and Suryavanshi's 78(26) SR 300 (RR won) were turned on before the match got away.
