The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is almost here. These teams are ready to compete with their teams for the precious trophies in the richest cricket tournament in the world. While some teams were very similar to the previous edition, some made some big purchases during the IPL 2024 auction held last year. Australians Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc went to SunRisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders for over Rs 20 crore. This is the first time that it has crossed the Rs 20-crore mark.
Talking about the huge salaries in IPL, former Indian cricket team star Robin Uthappa said that if there is no salary cap, the salary of as many as 10 Indian players can exceed Rs 100 crore. Currently, the total funding of these 10 franchisees is Rs 100 crore.
“If you have an open auction and there is no limit on prize money. Let’s say the prize money is Rs 1,000 or Rs 500 crore, we have 10 players who can get more than Rs 100 crore. Jasprit Bumrah (one who can get more than Rs 100 crore) name). Virat Kohli (second name). Rohit Sharma (third name). And Hardik Pandya. Ravndra Jadeja, KL Rahul. Ruturaj Gaikwad is definitely between Rs 80 to 100 crore. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal too. Over Rs 100 crore,” Robin Uthappa said in News 24 Sports.
Robin Uthappa has played for IPL teams such as Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Rajasthan Royals. He was also a member of the Indian cricket team that won the 2007 T20 World Cup.
