IPL 2024: How to Watch Live Streaming Online With Smart Replay in India

The stage is set for the exciting 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting this week. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament opener on March 22, 2024, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League will see the introduction of a new "Smart Replay System" designed to increase the accuracy and speed of decision-making by the TV umpire.

What is the Smart Replay System?

The IPL 2024 will feature a Smart Replay System for faster and more accurate decisions. The umpire will receive direct inputs from two Hawk-Eye operators viewing footage from eight high-speed cameras around the ground.

Some key advantages of the Smart Replay System include:

• Split screens will show simultaneous angles, like the fielder's hands and feet for catches.

• "Tri-vision" with side-on, front-on, and stumpcam angles for stumpings.

• Clear footage from 300fps Hawk-Eye cameras over 50fps stumpcam for close run-out calls.

• Immediate notification for the umpire if the ball is pitched outside the leg for LBWs, to prioritize ball-tracking.

Here are the live streaming and TV telecast details of IPL 2024 matches.
