Some IPL captains have faced suspensions in the past due to slow over-rates. Hardik Pandya is set to miss Mumbai Indians’ opening match of IPL 2025 for a slow over-rate offence from the previous season. Rishabh Pant had to miss the match between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru last season.
"The captain will be penalised with demerit points but will not face a match ban for the slow over-rate," says an internal communique seen by Cricbuzz.
Captains to Receive Demerit Points; Bans Only in Severe Cases
Players will be fined 25 to 75 percent of their match fees for a Level 1 offence, while a Level 2 offence, if deemed serious, will result in four demerit points. These demerit points could lead to a match ban but slow over-rate violations will not result in an immediate suspension.
Controversial Impact Player Rule to Stay in IPL Until 2027 Season
The Impact Player Rule, which has faced criticism, will stay for the current cycle, as confirmed by the BCCI. However, the board plans to reassess the rule after the 2027 season.
The BCCI also modified the DRS clause in the IPL playing conditions. Height-based wides and wides outside the off-stump can be reviewed. Players could only review on-field umpire decisions regarding wides and no-balls, as per the 2024 rules, while the 2025 conditions are yet to be released.
