What is the IPL Fair Play Award?

The Fair Play Award recognizes the team with the highest cumulative points for sportsmanship across the season. After every match, on-field umpires and the third umpire award points to both participating teams based on four key criteria (maximum 10 points per team per match):

• Spirit of the Game - 4 points
• Respect for the Opposition - 2 points
• Respect for the Laws of Cricket - 2 points
• Respect for Umpires - 2 points

Teams earn these through positive on-field behavior, minimal dissent, quick acceptance of decisions, and maintaining the game's ethos. A dedicated Fair Play Points Table

tracks standings throughout the season, adding excitement as teams vie for this off-field honor alongside playoff qualification. The winner receives the trophy at the season's conclusion.
