Rajasthan Royals batter Riyan Parag was required to change his bat on Wednesday after it reportedly failed to meet the size requirements during the pre-play gauge test introduced in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
As per IPL 2025 rules, umpires now check bats on-field to ensure they meet size regulations, which Parag’s bat failed.
Three KKR players also failed the test and had to change their bats at the start of IPL 2025.
The on-field bat gauge tests have been introduced to ensure compliance throughout the game.
