Summary

There will be many new rules in IPL 2023, which will increase the excitement of the game. Now the captain will decide his playing 11 after the toss. At the same time, the Impact player will be able to turn the game by appearing in the middle of the match.

Detailed

The countdown for IPL 2023 has begun. The tournament will start on March 31. Several changes have been made in the rules of this two-month-long tournament, which will make the game even more exciting. Here we are telling about the new rules of IPL 2023.

In IPL 2023, the captain will come for the toss with two different team sheets and will reveal his playing 11 after the toss. This is one of the significant changes in the rules of IPL. The IPL said in an internal note that this would allow franchises to pick their best playing 11, whether they bat first or bowl first. Apart from this, teams will also have a chance to choose an impact player after the toss.

According to media reports, the note said, "At present, the captains have to tell each other their playing 11 before the toss. Now this work will be done immediately after the toss, so that it helps the teams to choose the best playing 11, whether they Whether batting first or bowling first. It will also help teams pick impact players."

The IPL is the second league after the South Africa T20 League, in which teams will be allowed to name their playing 11 after the toss. This has been the rule since the first season in the South Africa T20 League. In this league the captain goes for the toss with 13 players and after the toss announces the names of 11 players who are playing the match.

South African T20 League director Graeme Smith had said that this rule has been brought in to reduce the effect of the toss. In the 33 matches of the South Africa T20 League, the teams that won the toss won 15 and lost 16. The results of two matches did not come out.

This rule has been brought in IPL for the same reason. This will also reduce the effect of dew in India. Toss plays a huge role in most grounds in India and it becomes easier for the team chasing the target to win the match. For the last time in 2019, all the teams in the IPL played half the matches at their home ground and the rest at the opposition team's ground. In this season, 34 out of 60 matches were won by the teams that won the toss, while 23 matches were named after the teams that lost the toss. (Excludes super over and abandoned matches)

How will you get the benefit of the new rule?

After the new rules of IPL are revealed, the team that wins the toss will not win the match. Also, no team will be forced to take decisions according to pitch and ground. For example, if a team that wishes to bat and defend a target on a pitch conducive to spin is forced to bowl first. Now in such a situation, any team can include an additional spinner in the starting playing 11, and in the second innings, instead of a bowler, the batsman can be brought into the team as an impact player. This will help in chasing the target.

What other rules of IPL changed?

  • Only four fielders outside the 30 yards will be allowed in overs after the stipulated time. This rule is also applicable in international cricket.
  • On the wrong action of the wicketkeeper, the ball will be given dead ball and five runs of five penalty will be given.
  • The ball will be dead ball even on the wrong action of any fielder and penalty will be five runs.
