Whereas in international cricket there is a rule to bowl only one bouncer in an over. But this time there have been changes in IPL. Earlier this rule has been used in India's domestic T20 tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. This rule will also increase the excitement of the match.
ipl smart review system
This time the most talked about rule Smart Review System will be implemented in IPL. This is also being discussed a lot in the news. This rule will provide a lot of convenience to the umpires. From now on, the TV umpire and Hawk-Eye operator will sit in the same room. This will help the TV umpires a lot in taking decisions. In fact, what has happened till now is that the TV broadcast director was very important between the TV umpire and Hawk-Eye. The broadcast director would provide all footage from Hawk-Eye to the TV umpire to make decisions. But now the role of TV broadcast director will end.
operators sit together
TV umpire and Hawk-Eye operator will sit together. From now on, TV umpire and Hawk-Eye operator will sit in the same room. Thus, under the Smart Replay system, the TV umpire will now receive information directly from the Hawk-Eye operators. The umpire will get images taken from eight high-speed cameras of Hawk-Eye, which will make decision making easier. Also, the new rule will allow the TV umpire to see more views, which was not possible before.
understand the rules
Earlier, if a fielder took a catch at the boundary, TV broadcasters could not show both the fielder's hands and feet simultaneously on the split screen. But now under the new system the umpire will have split-screen footage of catching, releasing and footing the ball. This will make it easier to take correct and quick decisions. This rule can be understood with another example – when overthrow occurs and it goes to four, then in that case the umpire can see in the same split screen when the fielder has released the ball whether both the batsmen have changed or not. . Whether it ends or not. A similar case was seen in the 2019 ODI World Cup final, which was quite controversial.
