To remove the subjective element involved in adjudicating above-waist no-balls, the IPL, in coordination with Hawk-Eye, has introduced technology to measure the height of the ball as it passes the batter at the popping crease. That is then matched against the toe-to-waist height of the batter when in an upright position - recorded in advance. If the height of the ball is higher than where the batter's waist is recorded to be, then it is declared a no-ball. Otherwise it's a fair delivery.

On Wednesday, Mumbai Indians fast bowler Gerald Coetzee became the first to fall foul of this new system when his first delivery of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad - the sixth of the innings - to Abhishek Sharma was deemed a no-ball.
