Like in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), teams can also use DRS for wides and no-balls.

IPL 2023 live streaming in India
While Star Sports will live telecast IPL 2023 matches, the live streaming of the games will not be available on Disney+Hotstar this time.
Instead, JioCinema app will live-stream all the IPL 2023 matches since Viacom 18 has bagged the digital media rights.
In a major development, viewers will not have to pay any subscription fee to watch the live stream of the IPL matches. This was not the case earlier, as fans had to pay and subscribe to Disney+Hotstar to watch games.
