How different the IPL is this time around: Unlimited corona substitutes will be found, spit will not be used to polish the ball, but it will not have much effect for two reasons
For the first time in the IPL, the frontfoot will see a third umpire instead of a no-ball field
This time in IPL, the Connection Substitute rule will apply, another player can be included as a substitute instead of the injured player.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) between Corona is scheduled to be held in the UAE from September 19 to November 10. The tournament will be played for the first time in a bio-secure environment without spectators. One major change due to the corona is that bowlers will not be able to use saliva to polish the ball. However, this one rule will not have much effect due to two reasons ...
1. The white ball swings only for two overs
Bowlers have trouble swinging if the ball is not spit on. However in a format like T-20 this is not a challenge. Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Deepak Chahar has said the same. He recently said that the white ball only swings up to 2 overs. If the wicket is good, it swings up to 3 overs. So there is no need to shine or shine the ball. Hyderabad bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar says if you don't use saliva, you may have trouble reversing.
2. UAE's slow wicket
The UAE will host IPL matches in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. The wickets are slow here, so the spinners will benefit more and the swinging bowlers will not get much help. So the rule of not spitting on the ball will not have any special effect. In 2014, when 20 IPL matches were played in the UAE, the score was 200+ in both innings in just one match, while the score was 160+ 12 times.
Direct third umpire's eye on no-ball
For the first time in the IPL, the third umpire will check the no-ball. Now the third umpire in the match will check the frontfoot no-ball of the bowler and the ground umpire will not need to see this. The third umpire also did a no-ball check in the India-West Indies ODI series last year.
Unlimited Corona Substitute
The IPL Governing Council has also approved Unlimited Corona substitutes this season, meaning that if a player turns out to be Corona positive in the tournament, then the team will be able to include another player in his place. As a rule, a batsman can only replace a batsman and a bowler can only replace a bowler. This rule was first applied in the 2018 Ashes series.
Cheerleaders and fans will not come to the stadium
For the first time in the history of the IPL, the match will be played in an empty stadium due to Corona. Cheerleaders will not be present to fan and celebrate in the stadium. However, recorded videos of cheerleaders and fans will be shown on the franchise mega screen.
What is a bio-safe environment?
This is an environment in which the occupant is not exposed to the outside world in any way, i.e. players participating in the IPL cannot get support staff, match officials, hotel staff and medical team and anyone from outside.
Punishment for breaking bio-safe environment in IPL
Violators of the bio-secure rule will be punished under the IPL Code of Conduct. The player may be suspended for certain matches. Some teams, including the RCB, have already warned that if a player breaks the rules, his contract could be broken. Players will not be able to use saliva on the ball in the match. The ICC has banned the use of saliva to brighten the ball in cricket because of Corona.
This rule will be applicable for the first time in IPL. Each team will be warned twice. 5 runs will be added to the opponent's account as a penalty for the third time. The captains of both the teams will not be able to shake hands after the toss due to Corona.
