In a bid to enhance decision-making accuracy in IPL 2024, the BCCI has introduced innovative technology to judge waist-high full tosses, which have often been contentious decisions in cricket matches.
The new method involves measuring the height of all players in the IPL till their waist with a measuring tape. This data is then fed into the system used by Hawk-Eye operators, who sit with the third umpire to judge reviews of waist-high full tosses. This data aims to provide a more accurate assessment of whether a delivery is a waist-high full toss to a particular batsman.
Additionally, a new Smart Replay System has been implemented in IPL 2024 to improve decision-making efficiency. Two Hawk-Eye operators are stationed alongside the TV umpire to provide real-time images for swift analysis. This setup eliminates the role of the TV broadcast director, streamlining the process and reducing potential errors.
The introduction of these technologies reflects the BCCI’s commitment to improving the quality of decision-making in IPL matches. These innovations are expected to reduce controversies and ensure fair play, enhancing the overall viewer experience of the tournament.
