Every "Most Valuable Player of the Season" Winners of IPL, from 2008 to 2023
Here's the list of all the players who have won the Man of the Tournament (MVP) award in the Indian Premier League since 2008.
IPL MVP Winners: The MVP award is given to the player who accumulates the most fantasy points towards the end of a particular season. The unique scoring system awards players with points for each boundary, six, wicket, dot ball, catch, run-out, and stumping.
Notably, a player receives 2.5 points for every four, 3.5 points for six, 3.5 points for a wicket, 1 point for a dot ball, and 2.5 points for every catch and stumping.
A catch or a stumping equal to 2.5 points, and a wicket gets the player 3.5 points. The bowler earns one point for every dot ball bowled. The leader of this standings takes the IPL Most Valuable Player trophy home.
The Most Valuable Player in IPL is the cricketer who earns the most points on the MVP Chart of a particular season. Before the 2013 season, the best player of an IPL season received the ‘IPL Man of the Series’ title. However, the organizers changed it to the IPL Most Valuable Player in 2013.
