The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> has been a revelation in terms of the entertainment it provides to cricket fans.  It brings the best T20 players to compete against each other and provides the platform for some of them to revive their careers. From time to time, there have been some changes brought by the IPL&#8217;s  Governing Council to improve the overall experience of the games in the tournament.

Ahead of IPL 2022, the council announced a couple of major changes. DRS has been increased to two per innings, new batters to take strike after a catch dismissal, matches to be rescheduled if the teams cannot field a team due to Covid cases, and the use of league stage rankings to decide the winner if Super Overs cannot be played to further decide the winner. Apart from these changes, there are some more rules, which can be laid out in the upcoming editions of the tournament.

 5 new rules that can be implemented in the IPL

1. Deduction of one point for slow over-rate

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-505311" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-2.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-505311" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma.

In 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced a new rule, which will penalize the team for slow over-rates. This term relates to the amount of time needed by the teams to complete their full quota of overs across all the formats of the game. In terms of T20Is, the teams will have to have an over rate of 14.11 per hour. If the teams don&#8217;t maintain this rate at the first ball of the 20th over, they will have one fewer fielder (four) outside the 30-yard circle.

The above rule was implemented by the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/england/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in the inaugural season of &#8216;The Hundred&#8217;, and ICC followed it up to implement it in international cricket. In the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle, a slow over-rate has caused the teams like India and England to lose crucial WTC points.

Until this season, the captains have been fined a share of their match fee for slow over-rate. A couple of skippers, including Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, have been reprimanded for the same. However, if the slow over-rate is to be implemented in the right manner, the Council may look to deduct 1 point from the team, if the offense happens for the second time.

2. Power Surge of one over (runs get doubled)

To make the game interesting and bring novelty, the Big Bash League (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/bbl-big-bash-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBL</a>) organizers introduced the rule of &#8216;Power Surge&#8217; in the 2020-21 season. Since its implementation, it certainly has achieved much popularity and is being hailed by the cricket community. In this rule, only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle and can be taken at any point after the 10th over of the innings by the batting team, and it goes on for two overs.

These two overs have a direct impact on the outcome of the match, as both teams try to outsmart each other with their skills. Taking it as a reference, IPL can have a similar rule, which will improve the pressure handling capability of the bowlers, and will also invite batters to enhance their skills to score runs.

Instead of two overs, the power surge of one over can be laid out in the tournament. In this particular over, the runs scored by the batting team will get doubled and will get added up to the total posted by them. This move will make the captain of the fielding team save his best bowler during this over. Hence, the excitement level is expected to be top-notch.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-622457" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Liam-Livingstone-six-1.jpg" alt="Liam-Livingstone-six" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-622457" class="wp-caption-text">Liam-Livingstone-six. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

There have been active debates and suggestions, on how to reward the batters for their performances in the T20I format. The much sought-out proposal is to award a total of eight runs for hitting a 100+ meters six. The former cricketer turned commentator, Aakash Chopra has been a huge advocator of this rule for the last couple of years.

In the recent IPL 2022 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he tweeted after a monstrous 108m six from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-jasprit-bumrah-nails-a-toe-crushing-yorker-to-castle-liam-livingstone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liam Livingstone</a> to reward him eight runs for this shot. He feels it requires a lot of power to hit such a long six and the rule should be implemented in international cricket as well.

In the previous editions of the tournament as well, the likes of Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers have hit the colossal sixes on a consistent basis. The longest six in the IPL history of 125 m was hit by former South African all-rounder Albie Morkel in the inaugural edition of the cash-rich league.

4. A bowler picking three wickets in the match can bowl an extra over

In a batting-dominated game, it is quite important to keep the balance right and provide a strong chance for the bowlers to compete emphatically. To take a positive step in that direction, a bowler can be allowed to bowl an extra over if he has picked three wickets or more in the ongoing fixture.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg-spinner <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/we-never-expected-to-get-both-ravi-ashwin-and-yuzvendra-chahal-in-auction-kumar-sangakkara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yuzvendra Chahal</a> highlighted the case for the bowlers in a tweet by Aakash Chopra on awarding eight runs to the batters for hitting 100+ meters six. The veteran leg-spinner reckoned that the bowlers should also be rewarded with a single wicket if they bowl three dot balls in a single over to strike a balance in the game.

The cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash came up with a reply, saying that bowlers should be allowed to bowl an extra over if he manages to pick up three wickets in their spell. The 44-year-old former cricketer reckoned that it will be a perfect risk-reward as the batters will lose their shape in an attempt to hit big sixes to accumulate eight runs.

In the ICC ODI Point System, a bonus point is awarded to the team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition in a series/tournament comprising of three or more teams. The best example of this was the Commonwealth Bank series in 2012, where the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian team</a> managed to chase a total of 320 runs under 40 overs, which ensured a bonus point to keep them alive in the tournament.

In the BBL, the &#8216;Bash Boost Point&#8217; has been implemented, which awards one extra point for the team batting second, if they have scored more runs until the halfway mark (10 overs) of their innings as compared to their opposition. If they lag, the fielding team receives the bonus point.

In the IPL, a bonus point can be added to the teams, who secure a big win over their opposition, which can be chasing the score with many overs to spare, or winning by a big margin of runs. With an extra point up of grab, the teams will look to play better cricket and hence the standard of the tournament will only go up.

IPL: 5 new rules that can be implemented in the tournament

In this article, we discuss the 5 New Rules that can be implemented in the upcoming editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
