The Indian Premier League (IPL) has brought cricket once again into the lives of millions of Indian cricket enthusiasts. Most of the matches have been exciting and to have two of them as tied encounters have given it the extra boost, especially to the absorbing and thrilling T20 viewers. The Super Over tie-breaker concept that comes into play when teams are tied is a very interesting one, better than the previous law of a bowling shoot-out.

This is a very important area which many of the IPL team management have not given much thought to. The teams seem uncertain as to who from their side should be the ones to play in the Super Over. The bowler and the three batsmen who are to be involved should have been identified well ahead, something which was seemingly not done from what one could gather from the two Super Over tie-breakers that took place recently. The players identified need to be mentally and physically prepared for the task, as a cavalier approach may not be the best option to undertake. One saw that in the way Mumbai Indians performed.
