IPL 2025 Format

The IPL 2025 format is not something unfamiliar to the IPL cricket community. The format has been used in the last IPL season where the tournament is played with a total of 10 teams.

• The ten teams are divided into two groups of five.
• A random draw was used to determine the groups and who plays whom across the groups once and twice.
• In the group stage, each team plays 14 games facing the other four teams in their group two times each (one home and one away game), four teams in the other group once, and the remaining team two times.
• IPL Points Table system: The team winning a match will be awarded 2 points. The losing team will not receive any points. In case of a draw or no result, both teams will be awarded 1 point.
• A four-game playoff stage following the Page playoff system is held after the group stage. Four games will be played in the playoffs:
  • • Qualifier 1: between the teams ranked first and second in the group stage.
    • Eliminator: between the teams ranked third and fourth in the group stage.
    • Qualifier 2: between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator.
    • Final: between the winners of Qualifiers 1 and 2.

IPL 2025 Playoff Format

The playoffs consist of two Qualifiers and one Eliminator. Qualifier 1 is played first, followed by the Eliminator and then Qualifier 2.

Qualifier 1: The first Qualifier is played between the top two teams in the points table. The Qualifier is like a semi-final. The team winning this game goes straight to the IPL final. The loser of Qualifier 1 takes part in Qualifier 2 – for another shot at the final. Thus, the teams finishing in the top two spots of the points table get two bites of the cherry – they have two chances to qualify for the IPL final.

Eliminator: The Eliminator is played between teams who finish at the third and fourth position in the points table. Like the name suggests, the team losing this match is out of the competition. The winner of this match goes into Qualifier 2.

Qualifier 2: The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator play this game. This again is like a semi-final and the team winning this game moves into the final.

IPL Final: The final and the most crucial juncture of this prestigious competition is played between the winner of Qualifier 1 and the winner of Qualifier 2.

IPL 2025 Rules

Here are the complete details of updated IPL 2025 Rules and Regulations, which are said to be followed similarly to the last season of Indian Premier League.

• As of last season, BCCI included the “Smart Replay System” in the IPL 2025 season for quicker and more accurate reviews.
• Bowlers can bowl two bounces in an over in IPL 2025.
• The IPL 2025 season will also retain the Impact Player Rule which was introduced in IPL 2023.
• Team captains can walk in with 2 different team sheets before handling their final playing 11 after the toss.
  • Depending on the toss result, the teams can pick their best 11 after the toss. But till last season, the captains had to exchange the teams before the toss.
  • For Example: If team A wants to bat first and then defend a total on a slow track in turning conditions and is forced to bowl first they can pick the playing 11 with an extra spinner in the starting 11 and then they can replace a specialist bowler with a batter in the second innings to help with the run-chase.
  • BCCI introduced this rule in the 2023 edition to bring down the motto of “win toss, win match” in certain conditions.
• IPL 2025 will have two DRS for each inning.
• Players can take reviews for wides and no-balls in IPL
• Upon a catch dismissal, irrespective of whether the batsmen have crossed or not the incoming batsman will take the strike, except if it’s the last ball of the over
• In Playoffs/Final: If Super Over or subsequent Super Overs can’t be completed due to some reason then the team that has finished higher in the league will be declared as the winner.
• Over rate penalty of only four fielders outside the 30-yard circle for every over not completed in the allocated time.
• Unfair movement of the wicketkeeper will result in a dead ball and 5 penalty runs.
• Unfair movement by a fielder will result in a dead ball and 5 penalty runs
