What is retired out?
Many times in IPL, a player goes out due to injury and then before the end of the innings, if he wants, he can come back to bat but this is not the case in retired out. Under this rule, a team can call its batsman out without the permission of the umpire and send a new batsman in his place. This is considered retired out and the batsman cannot come back to bat. However, if the opposing team and the umpire give permission, the batsman can come back to bat. In such a situation, he will have to wait for the wicket to fall.
