Rajasthan Royals player Joe Root, who is playing in the Indian Premier League for the first time ever, recently told compatriot Jos Buttler in an interview for IPL’s social media handles that Yuzvendra Chahal had been “looking after him” and he was “great fun to be around”.

It’s time the Indian Premier League kept an eye on the clock

No sticklers: The teams’ tardy over-rate has led to long-drawn matches in this edition. | Photo Credit: K.R. DEEPAK When Punjab Kings pipped Rajasthan Royals by five runs on Wednesday, in what was a worthy addition to their glorious history of dishing out humdingers, it begged the question as to how many fans sat up to witness the climax. The game concluded at 11.42 p.m., the latest finish in Indian Premier League 2023 so far. Long nights in the IPL aren’t new. Strategising between deliveries, changing fields constantly and timeouts have long-affected timekeeping. But this season, over-rates have been excruciatingly slow, pushing matches beyond four hours. Not a single innings that has seen the full quota of 20 overs has stuck to the stipulated 90 minutes. In this edition, to speed up ...
