I remember a scene from ‘83’ where the Indian cricketers are struggling to meet their basic needs with the allowances they are provided, even while representing the country in a World Cup. Well, looking at the IPL salaries of both the marquee players and the rising stars, it’s clear that there has been an unbelievable shift in Indian cricket over the last few decades. In this list, we have compared and compiled some of the salaries of the stars of Indian cricket from their earliest days in the IPL and their current salaries in 2025 - amounts that perhaps many of us will earn in our entire lifetimes, which they will earn with just 2 months of cricket. @soumyasekhardas [ IPL, Auction, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer ]
