Indian Street Premier League: Rules and Format: Toss to Powerplay!

The main regulations that differ from regular cricket are the 50-over, street nine runs, and tape-ball overs, in addition to a special format of playing 11

Following comedian Munawwar Farooqi, who gained notoriety from Big Boss, taking out cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar during the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) T10, the league has gained immense popularity on the internet, particularly on social media platforms with short videos. However, that was only the first game on March 6, 2024.
The official tournament matches started the day following the celebrity-and former player-led unofficial game. The game’s regulations and the fact that street cricket is being played in a stadium have astounded and startled many.

Here are the major rules and format of the ISPL T10

Format

First of all the format- It is a 10-over-a-side Tennis ball cricket. However, there is provision for two overs of Tape Ball as well. We will discuss that later on. 

Tip-Toe Toss

As the name suggests, the toss does not involve a coin, but rather the children’s game of tip-toe in which the two captains will tip-toe from a certain distance and whoever stamps on the tip of the toes of the other will win the toss and decides whether to bat or bowl.

Three overs of powerplay

In the 10-over game, there are not two but three overs of powerplay, In the first two overs, the number of players outside the 30-yard circle would be two. The third over of powerplay can be taken by the batting team at any moment they feel like, between overs three and nine. During the third over of the powerplay, three players can be allowed outside the 30-yard circle. 

9 Street Runs

While in a normal cricket match, no matter how far the batter hits it outside the boundary the total number of runs remains six, but in an ISPL T10, if a better can hit the ball in the stands, it would account for nine runs instead of just six. 

50-50 Over

Fifty is most probably the most unique feature of T10 where you are betting on your skills to give you one and a half times more than you score or lose half of what you have scored. So a batting team can take the 50-50 anytime they wish, however, the bowling team cannot ask for the Tape-ball over to be bowled during 50-50. 

So in the 50-50 over the batting team will set a challenge of X number of runs and choose the bowler they want to bat against. Once that is done, if they score more than X, they will get X plus fifty per cent of X. So if the team had propped to get 16 runs and they got 18, they would get 18 plus fifty per cent of 16 which is eight. The total of that over would become 26 runs.  

But if the team fails to get 16, and scores only 12 runs, then they would lose six runs from the 12 and the over would become a six-run over instead. 

Tape-Ball Over

Popular in Pakistan street cricket, a Tape ball is nothing but a hard tennis ball taped entirely to make it swing a bit more than the usual tennis ball does. However, in ISPL T10, the tape-ball would not be hard tennis but usual tennis, with which the entire tournament is being played. 

Playing XI and Substitutions 

In the unique playing 11 rule, the team is given two substitutions in case of an injury. Also in the playing 11, a player each from the five zones of Indian cricket- North, South, East West and Central would have to be picked in the playing 11 alongside an Under-19 player from the pool of 16 players bought by each team in the auction.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati played an important role in Sam Altman’s firing from the company

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, faced a sudden exit from the company amid doubts over his leadership abilities. As per reports, Mira Murati had a role to play in his ouster.

Sam Altman

In Short

  • Sam Altman was fired as CEO of OpenAI three months ago.
  • Reports say that Mira Murati had a key role to play in his ouster.
  • Murati had stepped in as interim CEO after Altman’s exit.

Sam Altman’s sudden ouster from OpenAI made many headlines over three months ago. The OpenAI CEO was suddenly fired from the company and nobody seemed to know why. OpenAI had issued a statement after Altman’s ouster, saying that they no longer had faith in his ability to lead the company. Altman was resinstated as the CEO after five days after the incident. A lot had happened during this time, including company’s employees threatening to quit and join Microsoft if Altman wasn’t back. After returning as the company’s CEO, Altman fired all previous board members to form a new board.

However, questions about his exit remained. A report by The New York Times now states that an upcoming report from an external law firm might reveal more details about the decision and the chaotic five days before Altman’s return. And ahead of the report by the law firm, a new detail about the whole scenario has surfaced. As per The New York Times, OpenAI’s CTO Mira Murati played a key role in Altman’s ouster. To recall, when Altman was ousted from the company, Murati had stepped in as the interim CEO as well.

The New York Times report states that Murati wrote a private memo to Altman questioning his management and shared concerns with the board. This contributed to the decision to remove Altman, as per insiders.

Around the same time, Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s co-founder and chief scientist, expressed similar worries, citing what he characterised as Altman’s history of manipulative behaviour. Both executives described a turbulent relationship with Altman. While it remains uncertain whether they provided concrete examples, they conveyed that Altman occasionally fostered a toxic work environment by excluding executives who didn’t align with his decisions.

Ms. Murati’s discussions with the board give us a peek into challenges within OpenAI’s top management, even though both leaders publicly supported Mr. Altman’s comeback to the company.

The law firm WilmerHale, conducting the investigation, is expected to conclude its investigations soon, and a new board of directors of the firm may be announced simultaneously. After Mr. Altman came back to the company in November, several directors had left the board.

Hannah Wong, OpenAI’s spokesperson, said that the company’s senior leadership team which was led by Murati during her time as interim chief executive, had requested Altman’s return. This sentiment was echoed in an open letter signed by 95 percent of OpenAI’s employees. Wong said as per New York Times, “The strong support from his team underscores that he is an effective CEO who is open to different points of view, willing to solve complex challenges, and who demonstrates care for his team. We look forward to findings from the independent review versus unsubstantiated claims.”

Altman declined to comment, and Sutskever’s lawyer refuted claims that he approached the board. Murati did not respond to requests for comment but later shared in a message to OpenAI employees that she and Altman have a strong partnership, and that she has never stopped herself from providing feedback to him directly.

Employees at OpenAI, particularly those who threatened to quit during Altman’s dismissal, are eager for the WilmerHale investigation to shed light on the events. It remains unclear if the full report or a summary will be made public.

International Women’s Day: PM Narendra Modi announces reduction in LPG cylinder price!

LPG cylinder price cut on Women’s Day: PM Modi said the decision will significantly ease the financial burden on millions of households.

PM Narendra Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced a major reduction in the prices of domestic gas cylinders. Announcing his government’s decision on International Women’s Day, PM Modi said the prices of domestic gas cylinders will be slashed by ₹100. He said the decision will significantly ease the financial burden on millions of households.

PM Modi said the move will especially benefit the women of the country.

“Today, on Women’s Day, our Government has decided to reduce LPG cylinder prices by Rs. 100. This will significantly ease the financial burden on millions of households across the country, especially benefiting our Nari Shakti,” he wrote on X.

PM Modi said by making cooking gas affordable, his government wants to ensure a healthier environment. He said the Centre’s decision will empower women.

“By making cooking gas more affordable, we also aim to support the well-being of families and ensure a healthier environment. This is in line with our commitment to empowering women and ensuring ‘Ease of Living’ for them,” he added.

Meanwhile, in a related decision, the Central government on Thursday announced the extension of ₹300 per LPG cylinder subsidy to poor women under the Ujjwala Yojana for the next fiscal starting April 1.

The government in October last year hiked the subsidy from ₹200 per 14.2-kg cylinders for up to 12 refills per year to ₹300 per bottle. The ₹300 per cylinder subsidy was for the current fiscal, which ends on March 31.

PM Modi greets nation on International Women’s Day

In another post on X, PM Modi saluted the strength and courage of India’s Nari Shakti.

“Greetings on International Women’s Day! We salute the strength, courage, and resilience of our Nari Shakti and laud their accomplishments across various fields. Our government is committed to empowering women through initiatives in education, entrepreneurship, agriculture, technology and more. This is also reflected in our accomplishments in the last decade,” he said.

Opposition attacks government

NCP (SCP) MP Supriya Sule called the announcement ‘jumla’.

“I am not surprised at all. Look at the timing. They have been in power for the last 9 years. Why didn’t they think of this earlier? Just when the election, I mean it will probably be announced in the next 5 or 6 days, “yeh aur ek jumla hai”…In our government, the cylinder was ₹430. Why don’t they match it?,” she said.
