5 rule changes that have taken place since the start of the IPL

#2 Tweaking powerplays in ODIs

Back in 2011, the ICC ratified taking the bowling and batting powerplay between the 16th and 40th over. However, this allowed the batsmen to run wild and scores saw an unprecedented jump.

This forced ICC’s hand and they then altered playing conditions once again.

While two fielders were allowed outside the 30-yard circle in the first 10 overs, four fielders were allowed to station outside the circle.

To provide more cushion to the bowlers, as many as five fielders were allowed to protect the boundaries during the final 10 overs which have always been the designated slog overs.
