IPL 2022: 10 things that have changed since RR last won the inaugural tournament
Several changes have been done in IPL since its inception in 2008.
6. Runout at non-striker’s end
Considered distasteful in the gentlemen’s sport, running out at the non-striker’s end is the method of striking the bails out from the stump before bowling when the batter is outside the white line at the other end. This method to inflict a dismissal is well within the rule of the game, but it has received criticism from all corners of the cricketing world.
The first bowler to use the mode of dismissal was Indian veteran Vinoo Mankad against Australia in 1947. Hence, it sparked controversy during those days as well. It continues to be part of the same club even today.
The rule was not included during the first four editions of IPL. However, it was included in the competition’s rules and regulations in IPL 2012. In IPL 2019, senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Rajasthan Royals Jos Buttler in an uncanny style and was criticized for his actions.
