IPL 2025: Exciting New Rules and Updates
The Indian Premier League (IPL) continues to evolve, and IPL 2025 promises to be no different. With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) introducing new rules while retaining some fan favorites, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming season.
Saliva Ban Lifted
After thorough discussions with team captains, bowlers will once again be permitted to use saliva on the ball. Initially banned due to health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, this decision aims to restore a level playing field for bowlers who rely on the traditional methods of ball maintenance.
Introduction of the ‘Second Ball’ Rule
To combat the impact of dew during night matches, the IPL will implement the ‘Second Ball’ rule. Umpires will evaluate the condition of the ball after the 11th over of the second innings. If excessive dew is noted, the bowling team can opt for a new ball, ensuring that bowlers can maintain their grip and competitiveness, particularly during run chases.
Impact Player Rule to Stay
The popular Impact Player rule will remain in IPL 2025. This rule provides teams the flexibility to substitute one player during a match, allowing uncapped players more opportunities to showcase their talent. It adds an exciting strategic layer, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
DRS for Height and Off-Side Wides
Umpires will now have the advantage of using the Decision Review System (DRS) for height-based no-balls and off-side wides. With advanced Hawk-Eye technology and ball tracking, these enhancements are designed to facilitate accurate decision-making, contributing to fairer gameplay.
