IPL 2021 (14th-edition) held in India & United Arab Emirates from (9th April – 2nd May 2021 & 19th September – 15th October 2021). In this article, we will read about "Indian premier league T20 2021: Winner, IPL Teams, Captains, and Others".

Indian Premier League (IPL) in History

• It was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007.
• BCCI is the body responsible for the functioning and operation of the league.
• The first Tournament was held in 2008 in India across various parts of the country.
• The tournament is played with 8 teams (franchise) and the top four teams at the end of the tournament will receive a cash prize award, for Winner, Runner, third place and fourth place.

7 things that make IPL 2021 different from IPL 2020

1. Length of innings: Strict guidelines have been issued to teams to finish their bowling innings in 90 minutes. Within this, there will be five minutes of strategic time-out. As a result, an innings will now last 85 minutes.

2. Hour-long Super Over: It has been decided to extend the match for only an hour after the designated time ends. In the last IPL, a match ended in a tie even in the Super Over, which resulted in another Super Over. If the winner is not decided within this hour, both teams taking part will claim one point each.

3. Third umpire to watch a short run: The duty of monitoring the short run will now go to the third umpire.

4. The on-field umpire's soft signal scrapped: If an on-field umpire leaves a decision to the third umpire, he does not have to convey his own decision, known as a soft signal. Earlier, if the third umpire could not take a decision, the on-field umpire's decision was taken as final.

5. Who calls no-balls: As per the updated IPL guidelines, the third umpire can overrule the no-ball decision made by the on-field umpire.

6. Name change: Punjab team has gone for a change of name and a refreshed brand presence. The XI is out from Kings XI Punjab, and it's now Punjab Kings.

7. Captain woes for Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant has been named as the skipper of Delhi Capitals.
