IPL 2023: It’s time the Indian Premier League kept an eye on the clock
The HinduWhen Punjab Kings pipped Rajasthan Royals by five runs on Wednesday, in what was a worthy addition to their glorious history of dishing out humdingers, it begged the question as to how many fans sat up to witness the climax. The game concluded at 11.42 p.m., the latest finish in Indian Premier League 2023 so far. Former Australian cricketer and expert Tom Moody even tweeted: “2 minutes 30 seconds for the wide review which was ultimately judged incorrectly!” The end result may be that viewers will lose interest and the sport the ability to find newer audiences. “We want kids to be able to go to bed earlier and it is worth saying it is going to be on terrestrial TV.” In India, inexpensive internet plans — IPL 2023 is being streamed for free — means the game doesn’t require slots on free-to-air television to attract eyeballs. “An early finish will enthuse early risers like students to follow the games seamlessly.” In late 2018, tennis introduced the 25-second shot-clock between points to quicken the pace.
