Two new guidelines has been set up for when team can take their two-and-a-half minute strategic time out in IPL 2010. The bowling team can use it in between sixth and eighth over while the batting side can choose the same in between 11th and 16th over.

The mid inning strategic time out has also been changed, because of the criticism occurred in Indian premier league 2009. It has been reduced from seven-and-a-half minute per side. Lalit Modi, the IPL chairman has accepted that the time out has been revised just because important players like Sachin Tendulkar has stated that long break hampered the team's momentum.
