The 2023 Indian Premier League (also known as IPL-16, TATA IPL 2023 due to sponsorship reasons), is upcoming 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a franchise based Twenty20 cricket league in India. It is owned– operated by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).[1] Gujarat Titans are the defending champions.
From this season onwards, IPL will return to its original Home and away format, after a gap of 4 years [citation needed]due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the previous 3 seasons being held at neutral venues. The 10 teams will play their home games at their predetermined home grounds across the nation.[2]
From this season onwards for next 5 years Jio Cinema app of Viacom18 will broadcast it on internet while Star Sports will do the same on television in India. In this season the participating team will be able to appeal for review of No balls and Wide balls to the 3rd umpire.
Background
The BCCI introduced an Impact Player rule ahead of the season. Teams can name four substitutes, or impact players, in their squad for a match in addition to the starting XI. One of these may be used as a substitute during the match.[3] Teams can now also review wides and no-balls using DRS, as introduced in the WPL.
Personnel changes
In November 2022, Shikhar Dhawan replaced Mayank Agarwal as the captain of Punjab Kings.[4] Anil Kumble was also replaced by Trevor Bayliss as head coach of Punjab Kings. In August 2022, Chandrakant Pandit replaced Brendon McCullum as head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders.[5] Tom Moody was also replaced by Brian Lara as head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad.[6]
The IPL auction took place on 23 December 2022 in Kochi.[7] The most expensive player was Sam Curran, bought by Punjab Kings for ₹18.50 crore (US$2.6 million), the most paid for a player in the history of the league.[8]
