The rule regarding team announcements after the toss in the IPL mirrors that of the South African T20 league, SA20.
This season of the IPL introduces a new rule: impact players. Both teams will be required to name four impact players each only after the toss.
In IPL matches, both team captains will now submit two playing XIs during the toss. After the toss, once they know whether they will bat or bowl first, the final XI will be selected.
Penalties for incorrect movements by wicketkeepers or fielders will result in a five-run penalty for the batting team.
