IPL Toss Coin Has Unique History - Know What Makes It So Special

In cricket, the toss often plays a decisive role, and its importance becomes even greater in the Indian Premier League, especially during evening matches where dew can heavily influence the outcome.

Over the years, the IPL toss coin has occasionally sparked discussions and controversies among fans, but very few know what the coin is actually made of or how it differs from the ones used in international cricket.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) specially commissions these coins every season with customized designs.

Reports suggest that the cost of one such coin can range between ₹2,000 and ₹3,000.
