The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set for an exciting 2025 season. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced new rules for IPL 2025. These changes aim to enhance fairness and excitement.
IPL 2025 New Rules
- Saliva on the ball: Reintroduced.
- ‘Second Ball’ rule: Implemented for dew management in night games.
- Impact Player rule: Retained.
- DRS: Expanded to include height-based no-balls and off-side wides.
First, bowlers can now use saliva on the ball again. This reverses the COVID-19-era ban.
A new ‘Second Ball’ rule will tackle dew issues. Dew often impacts night matches. Therefore, umpires will assess the ball after the 11th over of the second innings. If the dew is excessive, the governing body will allow a new ball. This rule, however, does not apply to afternoon games.
Furthermore, the Impact Player rule remains. This rule allows teams to substitute a player mid-match. It gives more chances to uncapped players.

The Decision Review System (DRS) gets an upgrade. Now, DRS covers height-based no-balls and off-side wides. Hawk-Eye technology will support umpires. This ensures more accurate calls.
These new IPL 2025 rules reflect BCCI’s commitment. They want to maintain a fair and exciting IPL. These rules will create a significant impact on the upcoming season. Fans can anticipate more balanced and thrilling cricket.
