Match Umpire Checking MI captain Hardik Pandya’s Bat But Why ?
An interesting aspect of the Indian Premier League 2025 on Sunday was seen when the umpires were measuring the size of the players’ bats to ensure proper conduct of the game. During the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match, the umpire was seen measuring the bat of Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya. His bat was within the permissible size of 4.25 inches. In the previous match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Shimron Hetmyer and Phil Salt were seen changing the bats.

In IPL 2025, the umpires are using a gauge to measure the length of the entire bat, making sure that it does not exceed this dimension at any time,
As per the rules of IPL 2025, it is considered that it does not exceed 4.25 inches or 10.8 centimeters in width.
The blade of the bat will not exceed the following dimensions: Width: 4.25 inches / 10.8 cm, Depth: 2.64 inches / 6.7 cm, Edge: 1.56 inches / 4.0 cm. These are the conditions and rules of play in IPL 2025.
In IPL 2025, when the umpires were checking a safety measurement of umpire Hardik Pandya’s bat during the MI vs DC match, the audience wondered if this was an interesting aspect of the game. It has given a new dimension to the game when the size of the bat of the player on the field is being seen, and it is being ensured that it is correct, and a transparent atmosphere is maintained in the game.
Every day, some team crosses the 200-run mark, so the match umpire makes sure that no team gets an unfair and illegal advantage in the game.
In tomorrow’s afternoon match, Phil Salt and Shimron Hetmyer’s bats are tested because they change the bat and Phil Salt also makes it easier for the Bangalore team to win.
Let’s see tomorrow, the first hot feeling in IPL 2025 is that Jasprit Bumrah along with 33-year-old Karun Nair came on the field as a dominant player, but even though he scored 89 in 40 balls, it did not help Delhi Capitals win, Karn Sharma turned the whole game around by taking 3 wickets which also made it easy for Mumbai Indians to win. Delhi Capitals lost by a margin of just 12 runs.
