IPL 2023 Starts Tomorrow

Why is the IPL so popular?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to launch the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008.

The IPL has grown into a sporting event that provides high-quality cricket matches. The IPL features some of the top cricketers in the world, like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Ben Stokes, and Pat Cummins. Talented players are also chosen for their national teams based on their performance in this competition.

The IPL attracts large crowds to the stadiums. The competition involves teams from several cities in India. This creates a sense of pride and loyalty in viewers who support their regional clubs. All these reasons are why IPL is popular.

A new season of the IPL will start on 31st March 2023 and end on 28th May 2023.

What’s new in IPL 2023?

Several changes have been made to make IPL 2023 more exciting. One such change is that team captains can now declare their starting eleven after the toss. Earlier, the lineup had to be revealed before the toss.

The IPL 2023 season will feature an “Impact Player.” This player can replace any member of the lineup. A team must list four substitutes in addition to the starting eleven. Teams can select any of these substitutes as their impact player.

Suppose one team bats first. They can play an extra batter. After their batting is over, they can replace the batter with a bowler. This is how an impact player works. Also, players can use Decision Review System (DRS) to check wide and no-ball rulings for the first time. Earlier, DRS could only be used for checking wickets.

The new DRS rule was used in the Women’s Premier League for the first time. Now it will be used in the IPL.

What can fans expect from IPL 2023?

In the upcoming IPL, fans can expect new players to make an impact and hope for exciting matches. The league is known for surprising viewers, with underdogs capable of defeating favourites.

Also, this season may be MS Dhoni's last IPL. This will draw attention to his performances. So, are you going to watch the IPL 2023? Which team do you think will win? Please tell us in the comments section.
