The BCCI has introduced several new rules ahead of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League.
One of them is ‘Impact Player rule’.
The BCCI first introduced the Impact Player rule in their flagship domestic T20 tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2022.
From IPL 2023, teams can reveal their playing 11s not before, but after the toss has taken place.
The teams will be allowed to come out with two team sheets, and can hand over the choice of their team sheet after they know whether they are bowling or batting first.
Before IPL, SA 20 League had already implemented the same rule. In SA 20, teams used to put 13 names in the list when the captains came for the toss and then they could finalise the playing 11 after the flip of coin.
IPL 2023 kickstarts on March 31 with the game between Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans (GT) and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
