The world’s most popular T20 league, Cricket, is returning to the home-and-away format for the first time in four years, so even if every season is supposed to be unique, this one is especially memorable for the IPL and its supporters.

Yes, that time of year has returned. when cricket venues are still completely full despite the fast-rising temperature. At this point, hardly any other cricket is played. when some cricket enthusiasts wince at the prospect of watching 20-over matches every day for two months. the period when defeats don’t hurt as much and allegiances become split. the period when movie makers are hesitant to release their works while “news channels” air sports-related programming every day.

Yes, the Indian Premier League Cricket is back.

The world’s most popular T20 league is returning to the home-and-away format for the first time in four years, so even if every season is supposed to be unique, this one is especially memorable for the IPL and its supporters.

The 10 teams competing at 12 locations nationwide—Guwahati and Dharamsala serving as the second home sites for the Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, respectively—bring the game closer to a larger audience. After all, the excitement of being inside the stadium with thousands of people shouting at every shot and every wicket surpasses watching on TV, regardless of the banner. Sometimes fans can’t contain their excitement when they catch sight of their favorite cricket player.

More travel, in my opinion, heightens the excitement of the competition. It’ll be tougher on the players with considerably more travel, but we’ll get to play in a lot of different locations and in front of a lot of different sets of supporters,’ Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting adds. However, this is a normal aspect of playing franchise cricket.

That being said, he has valid concerns. Every other game that the Capitals play is away from home.

This indicates that throughout the following 52 days of the league round, the team will take 14 flights. With at least 14 practice days and 14 matches, there is scarcely any time for recuperation. The 2016 winners, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the defending champion Gujarat Titans are both in the same boat. Can you spot the issue? Certain teams get an edge from it.

But things were always like this. Creating a fair playing field, both physically and symbolically, is probably impossible. However, one option is to make use of the new regulations. in particular the impact player and announcing the starting 11 following the toss. Other competitions have previously employed comparable rules, but they weren’t grouped together.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, believes it’s fascinating to see fresh ideas coming into the game. “Time will tell what transpires and how the team will handle this new regulation.” The notion of altering the team after the toss would be “quite influential,” according to new MI coach Mark Boucher.

We will need to acquire knowledge. If you lose the toss, there will be no unfair advantage gained, particularly in India, where there is a dew element.

Thus, all you have to do is adapt, explains Boucher.

However, Mike Hesson, the team director of Royal Challengers Bangalore, has some misgivings. “I believe that the impact rule has essentially been disproved by [naming the 11 after the toss].” It essentially serves as a stand-in regulation currently. In the second inning, if you bat first, you replace a batter and add an additional bowler, and vice versa. After the toss, you just declare your batting or bowling XI. There is no impact rule; it is essentially a direct substitution. Hesson said this on the RCB website.

But all these additional regulations add needless complexity to the sport. It could have been required to name the 11 after the throw in order to rule out the dew factor. However, the impact rule is just a cheap trick. As Rohit points out, we can only predict the future with time.

The season opener between the Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings tonight is a given.

A milestone announcement before we go: please note that CSK and MI will play in the IPL‘s 1000th match on May 6. But please, don’t hold your breath until then. Thus, it’s unlikely that you will be able to.
