One player at a time from the available five substitutions may be used during the game.

Penalty for improper movement
The other important regulation that the IPL is implementing this year is the punishment of a wicketkeeper for unfair movement if he changes positions before the batsman meets the ball.
These strategies are frequently employed by wicketkeepers to divert the striking batsmen.
Any umpire has the authority to declare a wicketkeeper’s action an unfair movement, signal it as a dead ball, and explain their decision to the other umpire.
“Award the one-run penalty for Wide or No ball, if applicable, or award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side,” the umpire at the bowler’s end is subsequently instructed to do. Notify the fielding side’s captain of the reasoning behind this move. As soon as it is possible, let the captain of the batting side know what happened and inform the hitters as well.

He might be an international or Indian player. However, the Impact Player can only be an Indian if the Starting XI already includes four players from abroad.
The Impact Player need to be one of the five subs whose names the captain will provide the match official following the coin toss. The Impact Player can be used at the beginning of an innings, when a batsman retires, after a wicket is taken, or at the conclusion of an over.
The player he replaces is unable to continue in the game. One of the team’s batsmen will not bat if the batting side inserts an impact player.
The team will continue to consist of 11 players.
An impact player can bowl his full allotment of overs if the bowling side introduces him, regardless of how many overs the player he is replacing has already bowled.
