5 Interesting rules that should be implemented in IPL 2021

The thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was one of the most competitive seasons of all time. For the top four positions, the team battled out till the last league game. Last year, the fans witnessed the double super over for the very first time. Apart from that, on a single day, we witnessed two games, involving Super Overs.

Well, the KXIP made a splendid comeback from a desperate position. But, still, they were unable to make it to the playoffs. Talking about the Mumbai Indians, they were the dominant side last year, and hence, we witnessed a one-sided final. Well, for the Royals, the story was the same, bottom position for the men in pink. 

Now, as we move ahead to another season, the BCCI should look forward to implementing a few new and exciting rules. This will not only provide a thrill, but also a lifeline to this cruel format of the game. The BBL has set up a perfect example of how new rules can be implemented in the shortest format of the game.

Here are 5 interesting rules that should be implemented in IPL 2021:

1. Power surge

The Power Surge was introduced during the tenth season of the Big Bash League. It is a two-over period during which the fielding side is allowed to park only two players outside the thirty-yard circle. This rule had raised a few eyebrows as many speculated that it might not be a good move to implement this rule.

However, this was beneficial for a team that was struggling midway during their innings. During the power surge, the batting side can call for this rule at any point from the eleventh over of their innings.

Talking about the field restrictions, the rules remain the same as that of the original powerplay overs. Well, this might spice up the competition in the IPL. Therefore, the power surge makes it to this list!
