After a few hours from now, the fans’ wait regarding IPL 2023 is coming to an end. The first match of the 2023 Indian Premier League will be played today (March 31). This match will be between Chennai Super Kings and the defending champion Gujarat Titans. The first match of the 16 season between the two teams will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Indian Premier League Season 16 will be special here. To make the IPL more exciting, five new rules have been included, in which the slow rate rule also applies. If a team cannot bowl an over in the stipulated time, they will be penalized.
During IPL matches, the bowling team will have to bowl all 20 overs in 90 minutes. If the bowling team can’t make it, they will have to face punishment. Just like a T20 international, all overs to be bowled after cut-off time, during this time only four players from the outfield team will remain in cap. By the way, when there is a normal situation, after the power play, 5 players are kept in the limit. This rule can be a headache for the captain of the field team. In such a situation, the captain will expect all his players to complete the overs in the stipulated time.
A total of five new rules have been included in 2023. These include the impact player rule, the play 11 announcement after the pitch, DRS for wide and no ball, unfair moving dead ball, and the slower speed rule. But the topic of discussion in all these rules is the Impact Player rule. With the implementation of this rule, instead of 11, you will see 12 players playing in the match. The impact player will be used by both the batting and bowling teams.
