Just did a little research on the top all-time earners from the IPL. Cricketers have made a great amount of wealth from the league and for many its life-changing money. It’s always fascinating to hear interviews of Australian, English cricketers and the way even they mention how their first IPL pay day was a huge deal for them and their families. This sport has really taken care of the players. Really glad cricketers are well paid unlike Hockey players and other Olympics athletes.
This is a rough estimation btw. Actual figures could slightly differ but I think the order is more or less same and overall figures wouldn’t be far off as the figures were cross checked with multiple resources by AI.
In INR
1. Virat Kohli – ~₹207.96 crore

48. Anrich Nortje – ~₹28.30 crore
49. Rahul Tewatia – ~₹27.20 crore
50. Jaydev Unadkat – ~₹26.10 crore
Heartening to see someone like Rahul Tewatia who hasn’t played any international cricket at all has earned close to Rs 30 crore. That’s a great amount of money for a non international player. Never could a player hope to earn this much wealth from domestic cricket.
