Arun Singh Dhumal is the current chairman of IPL. The tournament is organised by the IPL governing council.^{[3][relevant?]}

Background

The league returned to its original home-and-away format after a period of four years.^[4] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the previous three seasons were held at neutral venues.^[5] "Fan parks" were organised in 45 cities, events which last occurred in 2019,^[6][a] and an opening ceremony took place for the first time with performances from Arijit Singh, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Rashmika Mandanna.^[7][8]

Participating teams

The same 10 teams from the previous season have returned with few changes to the team personnel.^[9][10]

Personnel changes

In August 2022, Chandrakant Pandit replaced Brendon McCullum as head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders.^[12] In September Mumbai Indians promoted Mahela Jayawardene to a strategic role in the franchise and recruited Mark Boucher as head coach for 2023.^[13] In November, Tom Moody was replaced by Brian Lara as head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad.^[14] On 16th September, 2022 Anil Kumble was also replaced by Trevor Bayliss as head coach of Punjab Kings.^[15]

In November 2022, Shikhar Dhawan replaced Mayank Agarwal as the captain of Punjab Kings.^[16]

The IPL auction took place on 23 December 2022 in Kochi.^[17] The most expensive player was Sam Curran, bought by Punjab Kings for ₹18.50 crore (US$2.3 million), the most paid for a player in the history of the league.^[18]

Rules

A number of new laws/rules have been introduced in this season:

• A penalty of five runs if unfair movement by a fielder or wicketkeeper occurs as a ball being delivered and before it is received by the batsman. The dead ball will also be declared.^[19]
• Teams can be declared after the toss.
• An "Impact Player" rule allowing sides to substitute a player during a match from four named substitutes.^[h][20]
• If a team fails to bowl their 20 overs in the allocated time, only four fielders will be allowed outside of the fielding restrictions circle for the remainder of the innings.^[19]
• Teams can review balls for wides and no-balls using the Decision Review System (DRS). This change was first used during the 2023 Women's Premier League.^[21]

Criticism

This section may require WP:Controversy section. Please help improve this section if you can. (April 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this template message )

Slow over- rate

In the current IPL season, matches are taking longer to finish due to teams bowling at a slow over-rate. According to the IPL rules, an innings should be completed in 90 minutes, including two 5-minute strategic timeouts, and a complete match should be finished in 3 hours and 20 minutes. However, as of 5 April 2023, not a single innings had ended in the above-mentioned time frame. Despite penalizing team captains, the over rates have seen little improvement.[57] ^{[58] [59] [60] [61]}

English cricketer Jos Buttler appealed on Twitter that the IPL matches should be sped up. Due to the slow over-rates of the various teams, this season's matches are finishing after 11:30 pm. IPL evening matches are scheduled to start at 7:30 pm and, therefore, should be concluded by 10:50 pm.^[62]

Impact player rule

Many cricketing experts are critical of the new impact player rule because of the thought that this rule negates the role and involvement of all-rounders in the game. Thus, this rule inhibits the evolution of young all-rounders.^[63][64]
