The BCCI has introduced these rules to make the game interesting, which were specifically introduced for the men’s T20 inter-state competition, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMT). The board also tried both rules in the Indian Premier League (IPL). But now everyone has the same question in their mind, will bowlers be able to bowl two bouncers in an over in IPL 2025? Concrete information about this can be found in the coming few weeks. Let us tell you that in IPL 2024, the bowler was allowed to bowl two bouncers in an over. The double bouncer rule was welcomed as it was an important rule to help the bowlers. However, in international cricket, one bouncer is allowed in an over.

It has been more than three weeks since the BCCI released the rules, guidelines and playing conditions for the other upcoming domestic events of the season. However, the state associations have no idea if these two rules will continue. The main issue is the impact player rule, which has become a topic of discussion within the cricket world. Recently Zaheer Khan supported this rule but many players and coaches have opposite views. Earlier, Rohit and Virat have also expressed their opinion on this rule.

It depends on whether Mumbai Indians will release Rohit.
