Teams can use any player as an impact player. For overseas players, an impact player will be allowed only if the team hasn’t used the quota of four overseas players at the start of the game.

IPL has introduced a new rule, allowing teams to carry two team sheets and announcing the final playing XI after the toss, based on whether they are batting first or bowling.

The ability for teams to announce the playing XI after the toss is aimed at reducing the impact of the toss to a certain extent, making the games more competitive.

Another rule that has been introduced allows both sides to check for no balls and wides, also allowing the bowling team to challenge wides and no balls given by the on-field umpire.
