Before the Indian Premier League 2025, the BCCI has taken a decision that is going to take away the sleep of world cricket. The BCCI has decided that the day-night matches of IPL 2025 will be played with 3 balls. Yes, don't be shocked, in the Captain Meet held in Mumbai, it was told that a new rule has come in the IPL, under which a new ball will be used in the first innings, while in the second innings, the chasing team will get to play 2 new balls.

A shocking rule came in IPL 2025

According to the rule, a new ball will be used after the 11th over in the second innings of the match. The reason for bringing this rule is to reduce the effect of dew in night matches. Due to dew, the ball becomes slippery, which causes trouble to the bowlers and the team winning the toss gets the advantage.

The BCCI argues that under this new rule, a new ball will be used after the 11th over in the second innings, which will reduce the effect of dew and the match will be more balanced. This will also reduce the advantage of the team winning the toss.

Will we get a brand-new ball or a semi-new?

The question is whether the team saving the score in the second innings will get a brand-new ball or a semi-new ball. Because if a new ball is given, it can also harm the bowling team. The team may rely on spinners, in such a situation, the spin bowlers will be harmed by the arrival of the new ball. By the way, it is also possible that the team saving the score does not want a new ball. All the layers of this rule are yet to be revealed.

Ban on saliva removed.

By the way, BCCI has taken another big decision before IPL 2025. Bowlers will be able to use saliva in IPL 2025. The use of saliva has been banned since Covid-19. It is still banned in international cricket but BCCI has approved it, after which you can see its effect in international cricket as well.
