In a game-changing move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a historic decision that will see IPL players earn a hefty match fee on top of their already lucrative contracts.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah took to social media to reveal this exciting news, stating that the move aims to "celebrate consistency and champion outstanding performances" in the IPL. A whopping ₹7.5 lakhs per match! That means a player who participates in all the league games in a season could pocket an additional ₹1.05 crore.
This windfall is a major boost for IPL cricketers, especially for uncapped and emerging players who may not have the biggest contracts. It adds another layer of excitement and incentive to perform consistently throughout the tournament.
BCCI is also reportedly considering increasing the salary purse for each IPL franchise to a staggering ₹115-120 crore, up from the previous ₹90 crore. This means teams will have more financial muscle to acquire top talent and build stronger squads, making the IPL even more competitive and entertaining for fans.
With these exciting developments, the upcoming IPL mega auction, expected to take place in November, is set to be a high-stakes affair. Teams will be vying to secure the best players, and the competition for talent will be fierce. One thing's for sure: the future of the IPL is looking brighter than ever, both for the players and the fans!
