Many IPL team owners has expanded their business by buying team in various leagues around the world, such as [[SA20]] of South Africa, [[Caribbean Premier League]] (CPL). They branded their teams with similar names of their IPL teams.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IPL... |url=https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-franchises-urge-bcci-to-allow-indian-players-to-play-overseas-t20-leagues-after-buying-sa-teams-report-500005 |url-status=live |website=[[WION]]}}</ref>

A team can acquire players through the annual player auction, trading with other teams during trading windows, and signing replacements for unavailable players. Players sign up for the auction<ref>{{Cite web |title=IPL Auction |url=https://www.iplt20.com/auction |website=IPLT20 website}}</ref> and set their base price and are bought by the highest-bidding franchise. Players unsold at the auction are eligible to be signed as replacement signings. In the trading windows, a player can only be traded with consent; the franchise pays any difference between the old and new contracts. If the new contract is worth more than the old one, the player and the selling franchise share the difference. There are generally three trading windows&nbsp;– two before the auction and one between the auction and the start of the tournament. Players cannot be traded outside the trading windows or during the tournament, whereas replacements can be signed before or during the tournament.

* Teams can use a [[Substitution in sports|substitute]], who is termed as an "impact player," from a list of up to five players named as possible substitutes. The substitution can be made before the start of an inning, when a wicket falls, when a batter retires or at the end of an over. This rule is borrowed from [[association football|Football]] and the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]. Both teams can introduce a substitute once per match. If a batsman gets out and the bowling team decides to make a substitution in the middle of the over, the substitute bowler cannot bowl the remaining balls of that over. The replaced player cannot participate in the match, even as a substitute fielder. Teams can introduce an overseas player as a substitute if they have included fewer than four overseas players in their playing eleven.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |title=Impact player, two team sheets: What are IPL 2023's new rules? |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2023/3/31/impact-player-two-team-sheets-what-are-ipl-2023s-new-rules |website=Al-Jazeera |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331110223/https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2023/3/31/impact-player-two-team-sheets-what-are-ipl-2023s-new-rules |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="ESPN 20221221">{{Cite web |title=Impact Player in IPL 2023 – all you need to know about the new rule |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2023-impact-player-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-rule-1350616 |date=21 December 2022 |website=ESPN |access-date=3 April 2023 |archive-date=4 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404172616/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2023-impact-player-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-rule-1350616 |url-status=live }}</ref> The onfield umpire indicates substitution is taken to the audience by making 'X symbol' by his arms.

The Orange Cap (presently also known as the [[Saudi Aramco|Aramco]] Orange Cap for sponsorship reasons), introduced in 2008, is awarded to the highest run-getter at the end of each season. It is an ongoing competition; the highest-run getter wears the cap during fielding throughout the tournament. The eventual winner keeps the cap for the season. [[Brendon McCullum]] was the first player to wear the Orange Cap and [[Shaun Marsh]] the inaugural winner of the award.

The Most Valuable Player award was called the "Man of the Tournament" until the 2012 season. The IPL introduced the Most Valuable Player rating system in 2013, the leader of which was named the Most Valuable Player at the end of the season. [[Jos Buttler]] won the award in 2022.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}

The Fair Play Award is given after each season to the team with the best fair play record. The winner is decided based on the umpires' points to the teams. After each match, the two on-field umpires and the [[third umpire]] score the performance of both teams. The 2022 winners were Rajasthan Royals.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket-news/ipl-2021-revealed-this-is-how-fair-play-points-are-calculated-in-indian-premier-league/|title=IPL 2021: Revealed!

In its 3rd season, the IPL introduced a new rule: "strategic [[Time-out (sport)|timeout]]" of seven minutes and fifty seconds duration in each inning. Franchises and [[Sachin Tendulkar]] disapproved of it.

IPL frequently gets criticism due to the slow pace of its matches. During the 2023 season, [[Jos Buttler]] mentioned on Twitter to speed up the pace of the play. An IPL match should end within 3:10 hours of the stipulated time, but it often ends after 4 hours. As per Gavaskar, strategic timeouts, reserve players running on the field with drinks and messages amid games, and batsmen asking for helmet results in these delays. Field umpires sometimes penalize teams by restricting them to field just four fielders outside the 30-yard area, or match referee penalizes by cutting captain's - team members' match fees, but it has not solved the problem. Games often run at a slow speed and finish late. Millions of viewers feel that IPL matches should be fast-paced.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IPL is losing the game of clock |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/ipl-is-losing-the-game-of-the-clock-101680630300397-amp.html |url-status=live |website=[[Hindustan Times]]}}</ref>
