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.

How do players get the IPL Most Valuable Player award?

There is a special rating system, under which the cricketers earn points for fours, sixes, wickets, catches, dot balls, and stumpings. For every four, the player gets 2.5 points, while a maximum earns him 3.5 points.

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.

Who has won the Most Valuable Player award in IPL for the most number of times?

Kolkata Knight Riders’ all-rounders Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have earned the tag of the ‘Most Valuable Player in IPL’ two times each in their careers. Russell won it 2015 and 2019, whereas Narine was the Most Valuable Player in IPL 2012 and 2018.

Meanwhile, former Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Shane Watson has also been adjudged the player of the tournament twice. He won the Man of the Series trophy in 2008. Five years later, he became the first cricketer to become the Most Valuable Player in IPL.
