The funniest and unique rule in this season of IPL is that this time players can transfer from one team to another in the middle of the season. Yes, you heard that right. According to the new rules, after the 25th match, uncapped and foreign players can be transferred to another team, as is done in football.

The rules will be for foreign and uncapped players only. Two teams can do this by talking to each other. However, foreign players who have played only 2 or fewer matches can be transferred under this rule. It is not for Indian players.
