New Delhi: The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League will start in less than a day. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Banglore for the inaugural clash of the cash-rich league. The first match will take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This will likely to be the last year for CSH skipper MS Dhoni and on the other hand, Virat Kohli will be seen in action after a long time. His performance in the tournament will be the key decider for his inclusion in the upcoming T20 World Cup. IPL 2024 is coming up with some new rules.

Here is all you need to know about new rules that will be followed in IPL 2024.

Second Bouncer Role

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy’s bouncer rule will be implemented in the upcoming season of IPL where the bowlers are permitted to deliver two bouncers in an over. This marks a notable departure from previous seasons, wherein only one short ball was allowed.

Continuation Of Catch Review For Stumping Referrals

BCCI have also added the rule of checking for a catch when a referral is made for a stumping. This rule will help fielding team by examining the possibility of a catch before confirming a stumping decision.

No stop-clock rule

There will be no stop-clock rule in the IPL, which contrasts with recent changes in ICC playing conditions where this rule has been permanently adopted in white-ball international matches.

Smart Replay System

This season of Indian Premier League introduced the Smart Replay System and this will enhance the accuracy of reviews during matches. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, the IPL 2024 is set to implement the Smart Replay System, which will feature eight high-speed cameras from Hawk-Eye strategically positioned around the ground. Two operators from Hawk-Eye will collaborate with the TV umpire, providing them with real-time images to facilitate quicker and more accurate decision-making.
