With the IPL now concluded, cricket's grand event, the T20 World Cup, is set to begin. This time, 20 teams are participating in the T20 World Cup, doubling the excitement for fans.
However, several rules used in the IPL won't be applicable in the T20 World Cup 2024. Let's find out more about them.
In IPL 2024, the Impact Player rule allowed captains to nominate five players at the toss as potential Impact Players, who could be substituted into the match from the designated list later on.
This rule was strategically utilized by all teams, with Chennai Super Kings notably benefiting by using Shivam Dube as an Impact Player in several matches, contributing to their victories.
However, the T20 World Cup will not feature the Impact Player rule, ensuring all eleven players named in the Playing XI will play the entire match.
The Impact Player rule in IPL led teams to strategize effectively, often substituting extra batsmen at crucial moments.
With this rule absent in the T20 World Cup, matches might witness lower scoring affairs.
Players will not be able to take DRS for wides and no-balls in the T20 World Cup.
In IPL, players were allowed to take DRS for wide deliveries and no-balls during matches. However, this rule will not apply in the T20 World Cup.
In the T20 World Cup matches, a bowler can only bowl one bouncer per over. In IPL matches, any bowler was allowed to bowl two bouncers in one over.
There will be no strategic timeouts in the T20 World Cup. During IPL matches, there were two strategic timeouts of 2.30 minutes each per innings, with a total of four timeouts available during the match.
However, in the T20 World Cup, there are no strategic timeouts; instead, there are drinks breaks.
