Injuries are a part and parcel of Cricket. Doesn’t matter how much care you take of your body, one can’t control the extent to which one’s body shall react to certain situations. While player injuries are not controllable, but curable, the aftermath of the injuries affects the fans and teams, the most. 

The loss of quality players affects the team balance, and thus mostly results in teams being less competent than they usually would have been. Nevertheless, with IPL 2023 almost at the business end of the tournament, let’s look at the IPL 2023 player injuries and their replacements.
