DRS Rules in IPL 2023 – Complete List Of Rules

DRS Rules in IPL 2023: Ahead of the much-awaited IPL 2023 season, BCCI made a massive announcement in their rules list. As per the new rule, players can take reviews for wides and no-balls in IPL 2023 season.

DRS Rules in IPL 2023

DRS Rules in IPL 2023: As of other cricket tournaments, IPL too has DRS options. Every decision reviewed using DRS involves fixed steps followed by the third umpire as part of the DRS rules established in cricket. Following are the full details of the DRS Rules in IPL 2023:

• After the on-field umpire gives his decision, the challenging team has a time of 15 seconds to make its decision if they want to opt for the DRS call or not.
• The fielding captain or the batsman declared out needs to signal a “T” sign to the onfield-umpire to review the decision.
  • • If the on-field umpires believe that a request has not been made within the 15-second time limit, they shall decline the request for a Player Review.
    • Under no circumstances is any player permitted to query an umpire about any aspect of a decision before deciding on whether or not to request a Player Review.
    • If the on-field umpires believe that the captain or either batsman has received direct or indirect input emanating other than from the players on the field, then they may at their discretion decline the request for a Player Review.

• As it happens, the third umpire checks if it’s a legal delivery in case the bowler has overstepped before proceeding with the replays at the business end.
• If the delivery is fair and legal, then the third umpire proceeds to the other end involving the heart of the event.
• The third umpire is facilitated with Hawk-Eye, Ultra-Edge/Real-Time Snicko (RTS), and HotSpot.
• Among these Ultra-Edge/Real-Time Snicko (RTS) and HotSpot are the two used to check if the ball has hit the bat in case of an lbw or an appeal for a catch.
• The HotSpot technology works on the process of heat caused by the interaction between bat and ball, which will immediately result in a spot on the bat in case of a possible edge.
• Whereas, UltraEdge or RTS uses sound to indicate a deviation or spike when the ball is close to the bat.
• The review will now not be lost in case of a decision that remains unchanged, solely as the result of an ‘umpire’s call’.
