The BCCI’s decision to complete the inspections of the players’ bats area has been a major talk in IPL -2025 from Sunday, when Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Game and Delhi Capital (DC) VS Mumbai Indian (MI) VS Mumbai Indian (MI) were examined in the field of playing during the play. Pictures of MI Skipper Hardik Pandya’s bat went viral on social media, although a source confirmed that all MI players were found to be obedient.
However, on Tuesday, ‘History’ was created when two Kolkata Knight Riders players -Opner Sunil Narin and No. 11 Anrich Nortje faced the ‘gauge test’, as they went in the middle. Female and Nortje This year is one of the first players to thwart bat size investigation in the IPL, recently introduced by the BCCI to restore the balance between the bat and the ball.
Narin’s bat was found before starting KKRPBKS’s 111 pursuing 111 pursuit by Reserve Umpire Syed Khalid outside the playing arena. In a video, which has gone viral on social media since Tuesday night, Narin can be seen standing near the dugout with Angkrish Raghuvanshi as the bat was being tested by the reserve umpire Saeed Khalid. While Raghuvanshi’s bat had passed through the ‘house -shaped’ bat gauge, Narin was not fit. Narin was eventually forced to change her bat, and perhaps distracted by this development, the West Indian all-rounder was bowled by the left-handed pacer Marco Jansen for only five.
Making his debut for KKR, Nortze went out to bat when KKR was struggling at 95 for nine in the 16th over. His bat size also failed to investigate the compulsory size. However, Norteze did not get a chance to use his new bat as he was trapped at the end of the non-strayer when Andre Russell was bowled by Jensen with the first ball of the 16th over.
Playing the issue at the pre-match conference at Wankhed Stadium before his team’s match against Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori said on Wednesday, “I wish, I want to check the bats when I was playing! No, I know that people know that people are tested regularly, and everyone moves forward. Is, I think, I think it is trying to bat a big batting, but I think it is very easy to get your bat through that cage. “
Former left -handed spinner of New Zealand stated that better bats were “a part of development in the game.” “I think the way the bats grew up without weight gain, this is a skill for the bat makers and these days the demand for batting groups or batsmen. Therefore, I think it is part of the game, part of development.”
Will the size of the bat be reduced in future to give bowlers more chance in the game? “I mean, everyone enjoys sixes and fours, so I don’t think we are going to decrease in the size of the bat and it really doesn’t worry me,” Vateri said.
However, Paras AnandThe CEO of Merut-based Sanskarils Greenlands (SG), who is a famous bat manufacturer, feels that the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the patron of the laws of sports, and the ICC will have to see to balance other changes in the game, rather than strict on the dimensions of the batsmen. “Modern-day players practice killing sixes. Cricket is not the one that was 15 years ago. You would not have seen a Sachin Tendulkar or a Rahul Dravid throwing the ball on the ball like the current generation of batsmen these days. Instead of reducing the dimensions of the bat up to one or two mm, instead of reducing the dimensions of the bat by one or two mm, there is not a lot of money here.

Do you support the BCCI’s decision to inspect the players’ bats area?
“A few years ago (in 2016), MCC announced that since October 2017, the thickness of professional cricket bats would be limited to a maximum width of 108 mm, a depth of 67 mm and the edges of 40 mm, Dabid Warner’s bat was found after a depth of 85 mm. Did it come down in the number of sixes?” He said.
While the bat size check in the dressing room has been common in the previous IPL sessions, the BCCI offered an on-field inspection to ensure more vigilance, as the batsmen often take many bats. It was not always guaranteed that the bat brought to the ground was the one who had passed the mandatory check.
According to the rules, the width of the bat facial should not exceed 10.79 cm, the thickness of the blade should not exceed 6.7 cm, and the width of the bat may not exceed 4 cm. The length of the bat should not exceed 96.4 cm.
Who is that IPL player?
According to the IPL Rulebook: “The blade of the bat should not exceed the following dimensions – width: 4.25 in / 10.8 cm, depth: 2.64 in / 6.7 cm, edge: 1.56 in / 4.0 cm. Also, it must be able to pass through a bat gauge.”
Speaking on his YouTube channel, ‘umpire’s call by Anil Chaudhary’ and his Instagram handle, Anil Chaudhary, who have umpires in a record 131 IPL matches, said, “Generally, the fourth umpire examined the players’ bats with the help of a team manager. The umpire examined all bats with gauge.
