Kolkata Knight Riders are unhappy with this, they have also expressed their displeasure by writing a letter to the BCCI in this regard. The team believes that if this rule had been implemented earlier, their match against RCB would not have been canceled on 17 May. Let us tell you that due to the cancellation of this match, KKR was out of the playoff race.

For the remaining 9 league matches of IPL 2025, the BCCI had made a change in the playing condition, which began with the CSK vs Rajasthan Royals match on Tuesday. Under this, additional 60 minutes have been given to complete the match now. Kolkata Knight Riders wrote a letter to the BCCI, raising questions about increasing the match duration.

According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, in the email sent to the franchise on Tuesday, the Chief Operating Officer of the IPL Hemang Amin said, “The decision to give additional minutes was taken because many matches are at risk of being affected by many matches due to early monsoon.

KKR Chief Executive Officer Venki Mysore questioned the time of the verdict and asked if the RCB vs KKR match could be amended in Bengaluru after the resumption of the IPL on 17 May, which was canceled due to rain. Mysore said in its email, “Although these mid-seas changes in the rules may be necessary under the circumstances, more stability can be expected in the way such changes to implement such changes.”

The IPL 2025 event was postponed on 8 May amidst India Pakistan tension, after which it was resumed from 17 May. The first match was RCB vs KKR in Bengaluru. To give a tribute to Virat Kohli, the fans had arrived here in the white jersey but a ball could not be bowled due to rain.

From 8.30 pm, the over started decreasing and the cut-off time was 10.56 pm, but due to continuous drizzle, the match was canceled at 10.26 pm. The teams got one point each, and became the fourth team to be out of the KKR playoff race. But if KKR won the match, it would remain in the race.

We are saddened by being out of IPL race

Mysore said that if an additional two hours were available in that match, then there could have been a possibility of 5-5 overs. He said that when the IPL 2025 resumed, it was clear that the first match of KKR vs RCB on 17 May could be interrupted due to rain in Bengaluru. Rain was forecast.

“The cancellation of this match eliminated the possibility of KKR reaching the playoffs. Such ad hoc decisions and inconsistency of implementing them are not appropriate for this level tournament. I am sure you also understand why we are sad.”

IPL 2025 new replacement rules: IPL 2025 was suspended for a week due to tension between India and Pakistan. Now finally the tournament is going to start again from May 17, which has caused upheaval in all the teams before. In fact, when IPL 2025 was suspended for a week, most of the foreign players returned to their respective countries. Seeing the international cricket schedule, some players will return to India to play IPL and some will not come. In such a situation, some new rules of replacement have been made in the tournament.

New rule of replacement in IPL 2025

Many players will be unavailable after the start of IPL 2025. There will also be some players who will be able to play compared to the league stage, but will miss the playoffs. In such a situation, the new rule says that the players who were brought as a replacement in the middle of the season, the team cannot retain them next season.

At the same time, the replacements that BCCI had approved before the IPL 2025 is suspended can be retained for the next season. This means that the players who come as a replacement after the suspension will have to knock the door of the next season.

Who will come back, who is not?

The IPL 2025 tournament will start again from 17 May. Before that, the biggest question is which foreign players will return to India and which are not? Jose Butler can miss the playoff matches due to the series against the West Indies, while his fellow player in Gujarat Titans Kagiso Rabada may stay out of the rest of the matches due to the WTC final. In view of the World Test Championship, Josh Hazlewood’s presence is under question, but it is being speculated that Pat Cummins and Travis Head can play the rest of the matches of IPL 2025.

Big names like Marco Jansen, Will Jacks and Mitchell Starc are also under suspicion. Aden Markram, one of the main players of Lucknow Super Giants, may also be unavailable for other matches.

The IPL is the world’s largest cricket league, right now its 18th edition is being played. Its popularity is increasing with every year, from the earnings of the players to the prize money has increased. This time there are many such players including Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, who have got more than Rs 20 crore. Not only experienced, but many new players have also received crores of rupees. After a change in the rules of unkapped players, MS Dhoni came into this category, after which CSK retained him for Rs 4 crore. Sunil Gavaskar has expressed concern about the change in rules.

Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian cricketer and currently seen in the role of commentator, believes that giving more money can reduce players’ passion towards cricket and hunger for Team India. According to him, it will not have any effect to the franchise, but it can be good for them, but Indian cricket may suffer loss.

What did Sunil Gavaskar say

Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his column in Sportstar, “Most people who suddenly become a millionaire are overwhelmed, first of all, they suddenly got a good luck and then with the nervousness of meeting those whom he praised and probably did not even dream of meeting. Be it great players, it is never easy to remember a unaccounted player who has been bought at a big price and who has justified the team to join the team.

“It happens that if the price of the player is reduced in the next auction, then the pressure of expectations also decreases and the player plays much better. This season has shown that the first cycle has been bought in crores and now the players who were bought at very low fees are showing better results. It can be experienced with some great players of the game, but often it is that they have reduced the burden with low fees and they are less expected. Has allowed to try to repeat.

He wrote, “Many players purchased in large amounts simply disappear because their hunger and desire ends. For franchisee, perhaps it doesn’t matter because they feel that it is good, but Indian cricket is a little unhappy with any player’s departure, whether he was successful or not. To adjust Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which became an unaccredited player before the auction last year, the limit was increased by Rs 4 crore.

“Perhaps the time has come to rethink and reduce it further, so that Indian cricket does not have to be deprived of such talents, which are stuck under the pressure of crores of bids and go away their way.”

Questions raised on the selection of players in IPL!

Sunil Gavaskar wrote in the column in the column, “10 times out of 10 times, it is only good, old luck, good deeds of grandparents or some omen that takes a unaccounted player in crores. The owners trust their advisors, most of the computer experts who have very little knowledge about the game, but they have the data and they think that they get the reply of the player. The scores of these leagues are found in the computer and this becomes the basis of their battle for a player.

He further wrote, “Most of them would never have seen the player playing or how was the opposing team. Was it challenging? Was it competitive? It’s something that would not have fit at all in the data. How big was the boundary? How was the pitch and how was the weather situation? If there is a former player in the form of a scout, then perhaps their words do not matter as much and anyway, the scouts do not sit on the auction table, right?

Bcci bat size rule in ipl 2025: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made new rules for IPL 2025. Under the new rules, the width of the bat should not be 10.79 cm, the bat thickness 6.7 cm and the length of the bat should not exceed 96.4 cm. Balls have been investigated in the Indian Premier League earlier, similarly in IPL 2025, the batter’s bat is being investigated continuously. Now a case related to the Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match has come to light, in which Sunil Narine and Enrique Nortze were caught openly dishonestly.

In the match played last Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders had to score 112 runs to win Punjab Kings. Before the start of KKR’s innings, the length of the batter Sunil Naren’s bat was found to be more than the fixed limit. Sunil Naren’s bat was examined by Reserve Umpire Syed Khalid. This all -rounder of the West Indies was standing with Angkrish Raghuvanshi, on one side the bat of Naren did not pass in the test, while Raghuvanshi got a clean chit.

Sunil Naren was asked to change his bat before the start of the innings. The good thing for Punjab was that Naren was dismissed for only 5 runs. On the other hand, the Enrique Norteze of Kolkata was also caught with a big bat from the limited limit. The KKR team lost 9 wickets on a score of 95, so Nortze came to bat in the 16th over, they were also asked to replace the bat.

Kolkata lost badly

The entire team of Punjab Kings was piled for 111 runs while playing first. The batting unit of Kolkata, who came to chase the small target, was left with sweat. Kolkata’s condition was so bad that despite being a dreaded batsman in the team, the entire team could not score 100 runs. KKR was all out for 95 runs.

Glenn Maxwell IPL 2025: Punjab Kings all -rounder player Glenn Maxwell violated the IPL ethics in the match against Chennai Super Kings. BCCI has deducted 25 percent of Maxwell’s match fee as a fine. Along with this, he has also been given a demerit point. This match was won by Punjab Kings by 18 runs. Priyansh Arya scored 103 runs in 42 balls, for which he was chosen as the Player of the Match.

The official statement released by the IPL said, “Punjab Kings all -rounder Glenn Maxwell has been fined 25 percent of the match fee for violation of the IPL code of conduct during his team’s match against Chennai Super Kings at New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on Tuesday and also earned a demerit points. Glenn Maxwell has a feature of 2nds. Under the misuse of fittings), Level 1 accepted the crime and confessed to the punishment of the match referee.

Glenn Maxwell in IPL 2025

Glenn Maxwell’s bat has not yet run in IPL 2025, he has scored 31 runs in 3 innings. He had scored 30 runs against Rajasthan Royals, while he was not able to open an account against Gujarat Titans and was dismissed for 1 run in the match played against Chennai Super Kings. Although he is making a good contribution with bowling, he has taken 3 wickets in the tournament so far.

The performance of Punjab Kings captained by Shreyas Iyer has been excellent this season so far, after winning the initial 2 matches, he lost the third match and defeated Chennai Super Kings by 18 runs in the fourth match. With 3 wins in 4, Punjab Kings are currently at number four in the points table.

In the fourth match of IPL, Delhi Capitals defeated Lucknow Super Giants in an exciting match. Lucknow was winning in this match till the last time but Ashutosh Sharma played a match winning 66 runs for Delhi. In the final over, a stump of Mohit Sharma was also missed from Rishabh Pant, otherwise Lucknow would have scored 2 points because it was the last wicket of Delhi’s innings. After this bad defeat, the team owner Sanjeev Goenka came to the ground and interacted with Rishabh Pant and Head Coach Justin Langer. This video of him also became quite viral.

In fact, a video of LSG team owner Sanjeev Goenka went viral last year. At that time, KL Rahul (last year he was the captain of LSG) in place of Rishabh Pant. It was clear in the video that Goenka is very angry with Rahul’s captaincy and the team’s defeat. During this time, Rahul kept trying to speak something in the middle but then remained silent. After this video, cricket fans declared Goenka’s behavior inappropriate.

Rahul did not do Riten

Lucknow Super Giants started their IPL campaign from 2022. In the first edition, the team made KL Rahul its captain. Rahul brought the team to the eliminator round in the first 2 seasons but last year (2024) team was out of the league stage. During a match this season, Goenka, angry with the defeat during a match, was seen speaking something in front of Rahul on the field. It could be clearly guessed that Goenka is speaking something to Rahul in anger. Before the auction, Rahul was released by the franchise and chose Rishabh Pant as his new captain.

Rishabh Pant’s start with LSG not good

Lucknow Super Giants were bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore. He became the most expensive selling player in IPL history. Although he did not have a good start with Lucknow, the team lost a winning match with Delhi Capitals. After this match, the team owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen coming on the field and talking with Pant. However, this time his gesture was soft than before.

It seemed that he was very angry or scolding Pant. But there is a question that can the owners of the IPL team come on the field to scold a player for poor performance or get angry?

What is a rule of BCCI?

There are many rules for the owners of IPL franchisees, such as how they will get a share in Revenue or how they have to run the team. According to the information, how the owners of the teams to talk to the players, no such clear rule remains. However, they are expected to treat them in a professional manner. The poor performance or defeat of the team may hurt the team owners, but after the match, it is unfair to get angry on the players or talk incorrectly.

IPL new rule for no ball: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying hard that there is no scope for a mistake in out-not out or other decisions in the Indian Premier League. Now the BCCI has found a new way to decide no-ball or wide on short balls. Currently, a bowler in the IPL can throw 2 bouncer balls in an over. In the same over, the third short ball is called no-ball. Remind you that in IPL 2024, the new technology was Izat to detect no-gent by measuring the height of the player’s waist. Now the board has taken a step forward in the same direction.

There will be no dispute over no ball and wide

A source quoting the Times of India said, “When the batsman stands inside the crease, his waist height and head height will be measured. This data will be uploaded in the system that the hawk-i uses the hawk-i operator. This operator sits with the third umpire. This makes a full-fledged pimples. The data taken from the players will be helpful in full -balls and other decisions at the time of batting. “

Cloud of crisis hover out on the first match of IPL 2025

The first match of IPL 2025 is to be played between KKR and RCB in Kolkata. But due to heavy rains and the possibility of storm in Kolkata, Orange Alert was issued by 20-22 March. On March 22, the opening ceremony of IPL 2025 is to be held, which has speculation to perform big stars like Shreya Ghoshal to Arijit Singh and Disha Patni. Unfortunately due to the possibility of rain, the opening ceremony and the first match may be rained.
