The TATA IPL 2023 just got bigger and better. The BCCI has incorporated a few more interesting rules to make the games more interesting and fun to watch. The “Impact Player” rule is one such rule that allows the teams to bring on a substitute player. It has many layers and levels to it. Hence this article covers all the questions related to the new rules that the BCCI has introduced for the TATA IPL 2023:

This is a one-of-a-kind rule. This allows the teams to substitute players at any time in a match. At the beginning of the game at the time of the toss, the teams will give 13 names or a starting 13 and they will reveal the playing 11 posts during the toss. The TATA IPL 2023 is the second league to introduce this rule. It was previously tested in the recently concluded SA20 League. Here is all you need to know about the “Impact Player” rule: 

  1. At any point of time in the match, the teams are allowed to make a substitution and change one player to another.  
  1. If a batting team makes a substitute player or introduces an “Impact Player” the player who has been replaced will not be allowed to participate in the game further. He cannot participate as a substitute fielder too. 
  1. If the bowling team decides to make a substitution, the player who will be bought on will get his full quota of 4 overs irrespective of the player who has been replaced.  
  1. At a time there can only be 4 foreign players on the field or as a part of the playing XI. This means that any substitution can be made, but the teams need to ensure that only 4 overseas players are in the XI.  

Rule if the Team Has a Slow Over-Rate:

Here is everything you need to know if the team has a slow over-rate: 

  1. Every bowling team is given a designated amount of time to bowl its full quota of 20 overs.  
  1. If the bowling team exceeds that quota, the bowling team will be permitted to keep only 4 fielders outside the 30-yard circle for the time that gets extended.  
  1. For example, if the Mumbai Indians have been given time from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm to bowl it’s 20 overs but they have managed to bowl only 18 overs in that span. For the rest of the two overs, they will have to bring one additional fielder inside the circle. 

Unfair Movement By Fielder to Be Penalized in TATA IPL 2023: 

Unfair movement of any fielder will also be penalized by 5 penalty runs in the TATA IPL 2023. The same is applicable to wicket-keeping flaws. This unfair movement includes motion at the time of the bowler’s run-up. It also includes “fake fielding” that leads to misjudgment by the batter. All of these will result in 5 penalty runs awarded to the batting side.
