2023 Indian Premier League Tournament preview

The 2023 Indian Premier League, also known as IPL 16 or, for sponsorship reasons, Tata IPL 2023, will be the sixteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket league established by
the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007.[1] Gujarat Titans are the defending champions

The BCCI introduced an Impact Player rule ahead of the season. Teams can name four substitute, 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..
