Having a reserve day for the all-important playoff matches is not a new concept or a unique idea, but is a demanded provision that has not been implemented yet.

What if the important playoff matches are washed out by rain? Obviously, the only thing that can happen is a rematch on the rest day. That's great, but why rest days? Aren't the rest days supposed to be the time when the players get some relief from their daily dose of cricket and freshen themselves for the next matches?

One of the best things that can happen to IPL now is having reserve days for the matches which are washed away by rain in the playoffs, if not possible in the league matches. In my honest opinions, the reserve days should be limited to the playoff matches, as they are fewer in number and more important than the other 56 league matches.

Moreover, the schedule should be based on the probability of the occurrence of rain, i.e having two schedules for two different events, one for the rain-curtailed matches and the other for the smoothly run matches.
