The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction for 2023 will feature a significant rule change, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to reintroduce the tie breaker in the event of a final bid being tied.
Previously, the tie breaker rule was used in IPL auctions to determine the winning bidder when two or more teams made the same final bid for a player. However, the rule was discontinued after the 2017 season.
Now, the BCCI has decided to bring back the tie breaker rule for the 2023 IPL auction. In the event of a final bid being tied, the team with the lowest net run rate in the previous season will be declared the winner.
This rule change is expected to add a new level of excitement and competition to the IPL auction process. Teams will now have to carefully consider their net run rate when making final bids, as it could potentially determine whether they are able to secure the player they are targeting.
The 2023 IPL auction is sure to be an exciting event, and the reintroduction of the tie breaker rule will only add to the drama. Stay tuned for more updates as the auction approaches.
