IPL 2022 rule changes:

• This season of IPL will see the number of unsuccessful DRS reviews allowed to a team increase to two per innings. Earlier, any team was allowed only one DRS review. The DRS was first introduced in the 2018 season.
• The match will be rescheduled for later if a team cannot field a playing XI due to COVID-19. If the rescheduling of the match is not possible, the matter will be referred to the technical committee of the IPL.
• Reportedly, if a Super Over in a playoff game or final cannot be completed, the team who finished highest in the whole league will be declared winners.
• In the 2022 season, a new batsman will have to take strike even if the player who was dismissed had crossed over before the catch was taken.

The upcoming season of IPL is set to feature 10 teams once again with Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans being the new additions. It will also have a total of 74 games with teams divided into two groups. Other IPL teams are Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
