After 29 matches this season (as of April 13), a few of these Impact Players have done more than just play as they have ended up winning the Player of the Match award.
Let’s take a look at the three who have made the biggest mark.
This rule started in IPL 2023. At the start of each match, teams name five extra players on the bench. During the game, they can bring in one of them as an “Impact Player.”
