IPL 2024 introduces two bouncers per over rule for bowlers. “So, I feel it’s a very small change with a huge impact,” Jaydev Unadkat remarked in response to the move.
In order to level the playing field between bat and ball, the IPL 2024 season will include a substantial adjustment that will allow bowlers to release two bouncers every over. This change, which test during the recent 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. India’s domestic T20 league, would try to instill more balance in the game. Bowlers will now be able to use a second bouncer in an over, even if one has already been bowled.
Safety issues had long delay implementation of this change, but with successful trial runs and persistent suggestions, the change will be implement. Jaydev Unadkat, an experienced campaigner from Saurashtra who has contributed to many IPL teams, has praised this change. Unadkat, who set his base price for the forthcoming IPL 2024 auction at INR 50 lakh, state his support for the change.
“I think two bouncers per over is very useful. It’s one of those things that gives the bowler an advantage over batters. ” Someone who is weak against bouncers will have to improve, giving the bowler another weapon in their arsenal. So, I think it’s a tiny alteration with a big impact, and as a bowler. I think it’s really vital to have that regulation. ” Unadkat told ESPNcricinfo.

Impact Player rule stays
Furthermore, the Impact Player rule, which establish in IPL 2023, will remain in place. This rule requires teams to name four substitutes during the toss, in addition to their starting XI. One of these subs can be select as the Impact Player. The law limits the number of abroad players to four in the starting XI, a tenet enforced since the league’s foundation.
The Impact Player regulation, on the other hand, has slightly impacted team plans, particularly the function and importance of all-rounders. Players with dual ability such as Venkatesh Iyer, Vijay Shankar, and Shivam Dube were primarily use as batsmen the previous season, reflecting the altering dynamics in squad makeup.
