The tournament was divided into five groups, with eight teams in Groups A, B, and C, and seven teams in Groups D and E. The winners of each group progressed directly to the quarter-finals, while the second-placed team in each group and the third-placed team with the best record across the five groups qualified for the preliminary quarter-finals.[4][5] The tournament was played in six cities across the country, with Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mohali, and Rajkot hosting the group stage, and Kolkata hosting all of the knockout matches.[6]

On 11 October, following the introduction of the Impact Player rule, Delhi's Hrithik Shokeen was the first utilised impact player, replacing Hiten Dalal in their match against Manipur.[7]

New Rules

edit

Impact Player

edit
  • Along with the starting XI, teams would name four substitutes in their team sheet at the toss, and use one of the four during the match.[8]
  • The player can replace any member of the starting XI at any point before the end of the 14th over of either innings, and would be able to bat and bowl his full allotment of overs.[9]
  • The tactical scope of the Impact Player rule is vast, with no real restriction on the role he can play. For example, the Impact Player can replace a batter who has already been dismissed, and still get to bat - as long as the team only uses 11 batters or he could replace a bowler who has already sent down a few overs and still get to bowl his full four-over quota.[10]
