IPL 2025 Rules: To further increase the excitement of IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has also decided to make a big change in the rules.

IPL 2025 Rules: The wait is about to end now. Fans around the world are ready to celebrate the biggest festival of cricket for the next two months. IPL 2025 will start from March 22. In the opening match, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will face Royal Challengers Bangalore. The 18th season of IPL is going to be special in many ways. Many star players were reshuffled in the mega auction and they are now ready to play with the new team.

To further increase the excitement of IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has also decided to make a big change in the rule. This is a rule that was never implemented in cricket before and this is the reason why this rule is being discussed all over the world.

The equation of the match will change after 11 overs!

To reduce the effect of dew in IPL 2025, BCCI has discussed implementing a new rule. Actually, it has been seen in IPL that due to dew, the team batting in the second innings gets an advantage. The ball becomes soft and the bowlers do not get any help from it. The job of the batsmen becomes easier. To deal with this problem, a second ball will be used in IPL 2025.

The most important thing is that this rule will be implemented only in the second innings. Under this rule of BCCI, a new ball will be given to the bowling team after 11 overs are over in the second innings.

IPL 2025 Rules: Important things related to this rule

• This rule will be applicable only in the second innings.
• This rule will be applicable after the 11th over.
• The umpire will decide whether the ball needs to be replaced or not.
• The decision to replace the ball will be based on the presence of dew.
• This rule is unlikely to be implemented in afternoon matches.

Bowlers will be able to use saliva

BCCI has considered making a big change in another rule in IPL 2025. According to the report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to lift the ban on applying saliva on the ball for the 18th season of IPL (BCCI to Lift Ban on Saliva). The ICC had banned applying saliva as a precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic. This rule is still in force in international cricket, but the BCCI has considered lifting this ban in IPL 2025.

Let us tell you that these rules will be presented in front of all the captains of IPL 2025 and if consensus is reached, then it will be implemented in the mega event.
