In T20 cricket, including the IPL, batters sometimes deliberately run short while trying to take two runs. The batter can stay on strike for the next over, even if it costs the team one run. However, this is against the rules.
The BCCI has introduced the changes for the 2025 domestic season to prevent batters from gaining an unfair edge by deliberately running short. The fielding captain will determine which player takes strike on the next ball.
Umpires to Act on Deliberate Short Runs in BCCI Tournaments
Under the updated BCCI playing conditions for domestic cricket, clause 18.5.2 states that if a deliberate short run occurs, the responsibility lies with the bowler’s end umpire to take action.
Disallow all runs to the batting side Signal No ball or Wide to the scorers, if applicable Award 5 Penalty runs to the fielding side Request the captain of the fielding side to identify which of the two batters will take strike for the next delivery. Award any other 5-run Penalty that is applicable except for Penalty runs under clause 28.3 (Protective helmets belonging to the fielding side) Inform the scorers as to the number of runs to be recorded; and Inform the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of the reason for this action. The umpires together may report the occurrence as soon as possible after the match to the BCCI Match Referee.BCCI Updates Single-Ball Rule and Retired-Out Dismissals
The BCCI says "if a batter retires for any reason other than as in clause 25.4.2, he will be considered as dismissed immediately and will not have the option of returning to bat even with the consent of the opposite captain. His innings will be recorded as 'Retired - out'."
"Each fielding team shall have two new balls for its innings to be used in alternate overs, i.e. one from each end for overs 1 to 34. At the end of over 34, the fielding team will choose one of the two balls from the innings to be used for all the remaining overs of the innings. The other ball will be added to the stock of replacement balls for the innings" says the new rule.
