The ‘Fair Play Award’ is one of the unique features of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL fair play award is given to a team that plays in the right spirit of the game and shows sportsmanship the best throughout the season. The award is bestowed as a symbol of appreciation to the team that shows how cricket should be played in the widely discussed ‘ Spirit of the Game’.

  1. The segregation of 10 points are as follows - 4 points are gained by upholding the spirit of the game with respect to the opinion of the umpires. The remaining three factors involve respecting the opposition, the officials and the rules of the game. The fulfillment of these three can produce 2 points individually.

  1. If a side receives 2 points in a particular area, it's deemed as “good”, while fetching one or no points is termed as “average” or “bad” respectively.
