Rohit Sharma is not among the top 4 highest-paid players in IPL
– Rohit Sharma, MI’s leader and first pick, earns Rs 16 crore as a five-time IPL champion since 2011.
– Rohit Sharma earns Rs 16 crore but is only fifth in IPL. Four players who make more than him are:
– Sam Curran, IPL’s top earner, got Rs 18.50 crore from Punjab Kings in 2023. He has the biggest IPL cheque ever.
– Cameron Green, second-highest earner with Rs 17.5 crore, makes more than his skipper. MI outbid RCB for him.
– KL Rahul made history as Lucknow Super Giants bought him for Rs 17 crore in IPL 2022. He matched Virat Kohli’s record salary.
– Ben Stokes, fourth-highest earner with Rs 16.25 crore, joined CSK but played only 2 matches in IPL 2023. He left before round 2.
– Ben Stokes may skip IPL 2024 for knee surgery, but could play 2023 World Cup. He will captain England in India Tests before IPL.
