The seventeenth edition of the Indian Premier League - IPL 2024 got underway on Friday (March 22) with defending champions Chennai Super Kings opening the campaign with a 6-wicket win against their Southern rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

And like every other cricket match or the previous editions of the IPL, there were several outstanding performances in the game, leading to one player walking away with the Man of the Match award.

Who receives man of the match award?

In any sport, Man of the Match or Player of the Match award is given to a player for his/her outstanding performance or to the one who makes the most impact in a match. Sometimes, the award is given to the best performer even if the player is on the losing side.

While the result of the match doesn't always come into consideration in deciding the man of the match, the player of the match award has been won by a player of the winning side in most games.

In IPL 2024, CSK debutant Mustafizur Rahman won the first player of the match award for his 4 for 29 spell, while Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell and Punjab Kings' Sam Curran bagged awards in the next two matches.

A total of 74 matches will be played during the course of IPL season 17, and here we will updated the player of the match award winners from every match right after the completion of the match and the presentation ceremony:
