"Being an impact player is quite weird when I went into bat. The role is such you have to be ready as you can get a call at any time to go in", Mahipal Lomror said in the post-match conference. The 24-year-old is aware of the fact that RCB has a strong batting lineup and the only option left with him is to feature as an impact player

In an IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings on Monday, Mahipal Lomror gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru two options an "impact player" who can snatch the game away from opponents and a successor to Dinesh Karthik who is making his last IPL appearance.
While chasing the target of 177 runs against PBKS, Lomror replaced Yash Dayal as an impact player. The left-hander scored 17 runs in just eight deliveries. His knock proved to be valuable for the side during the chase. Dinesh Karthik who made quick-fire 28 runs also played a crucial role for Bengaluru. RCB won the match by defeating PBKS by wickets.
