- A penalty may be imposed if umpires find teams misusing this privilege.
- Since the 2018 season, the Decision Review System (DRS) has been used in all IPL matches, allowing each team two opportunities in each innings to review an on-field umpire’s decision.
- From the 2023 season, this was extended to allow the review of wide ad no-balls.

- Teams can use a substitute, termed an “impact player”, from a list of five players named as possible substitutes.
- The substitution can be made before the start of the innings, when a wicket falls when a batter retires or at the end of an over. Both teams can introduce a substitute once per match.
- A 5-run penalty will imposed if a fielder or wicket-keeper makes an unfair movement while the bowler is bowling and the ball is designated as a dead ball.
- Upon a catch dismissal, irrespective of whether the batsmen have crossed or not the incoming batsman will take the strike, except if it’s the last ball of the over.
