In the current season of IPL 2025, it has become a trend by umpires to check the bat of players. Ryan Parag of Rajasthan Royals was examined on Wednesday after Sunil Naren and Enrich Nortze.

Ryan Parag’s sharp debate with umpire
Ryan was unhappy with the decision of the Parag Umpire. When the umpire Ryan was checking the pollen’s bat, he got a sharp debate with the umpire. His bat eventually did not meet the standards set in the IPL and he had the only option to change it. After this it was decided to change his bat.
Let us tell you that the BCCI has made this rule to maintain a balance between batting and bowling in T20 cricket, according to which each bat will pass through a gauge before taking the batsman’s guard. The fourth umpire will inspect the batsman before entering the fray, where it will be examined by two plains.
What do IPL rules say?
IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said that this step has been taken to ensure fair competition on the field. No one should feel that the batsmen are benefiting. As per the rules, the player’s bat should suit the IPL standards, where the bat should be 4.25 inches (10.8 cm) wide, 2.64 inches (6.7 cm) deep and 1.56 inches (4.0 cm) wide.
