The spectacle of the world's biggest cricket league is about to begin again. For fans who have been waiting for the start of the new IPL season for the last 10 months, the moment has finally arrived. The IPL 2024 season will begin tomorrow with a match between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium i.e. Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. Like every time, in this season too some new players will be eager to show their skills and there will also be hopes of meeting the new champion. Apart from all this, this time a new rule will also be seen in IPL but BCCI is not implementing two new rules of ICC in the tournament.
bowlers will benefit
In the 17th season of IPL, 10 teams will compete for the title. Although every season is special, but this season is really going to be even more special for fast bowlers. In this format, the power of bowling the ball on the ground with short boundaries has increased this season as the Indian board has allowed 2 bouncers in an over. From T20 International to other T20 tournaments around the world, there is a rule of only one bouncer per over.
rules for one day
BCCI first implemented this rule in the last season of the domestic T20 tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and now it is being implemented in the IPL as well. However, this rule applies in Test and ODI cricket in international cricket. The Indian Board has decided to field him in the world's most famous T20 league and if there is success here then emphasis can be placed on fielding him in International T20 also.
won't follow the rules
However, the Indian board is not going to implement the two rules that ICC has recently implemented in international cricket. One of these rules is completely new – stop clock. That is the time between two overs. To prevent wastage of time in T20 cricket, ICC has decided to implement this, under which after the end of one over, only 60 seconds will be given to start the second over. If this does not happen then the fielding team gets a penalty.
There are no other rules
At the same time, the second rule is not new, but is an amendment to the old rule. Till now, what used to happen was that in case of stumping, the third umpire would also check the possibility of catch and then check the stumping. But teams were misusing it, after which ICC banned catch checking in case of stumping. BCCI does not agree with this and has retained the rule of stumping and catch checking in IPL. BCCI believes that this will save the fielding team from losses.
DRS decisions will come soon
Apart from all this, BCCI has also started a smart replay system this time, under which the third umpire and the Hawk-Eye operator will sit in the same room and the third umpire will be able to directly see the pictures of the Hawk-Eye camera. This will reduce the delay in watching replays and taking decisions and will help in faster decision making in any referral or closed cases.
