The way money is showered on the players in IPL makes it clear why it is the biggest cricket league in the world. In many leagues whose budget for the entire team is not that much, players like Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are bought in India.

Another interesting statistic is that the total prize money of the last IPL was Rs 20 crore, that is, the team that won the IPL title got a prize of Rs 20 crore. But players like Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc alone have made Rs 45 crore in their name.

This clearly shows how big a brand of cricket IPL is in the world. Talking about the Pakistan Super League, the winner of PSL gets Rs 3.4 crore. This means that even if a team wins the PSL title in ten years, it cannot match the value of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.

The way Rs 45 crore has been showered on Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, after that if we talk about the cost of one ball in a match of these two bowlers, then this figure can blow your mind. There are a total of 14 league matches in IPL.

In such a situation, if both the players play full 14-14 matches for their franchise, then in this sense they can get 4-4 overs in every match. In such a situation, both the bowlers will bowl 336-336 balls. According to this, the cost of one ball of Mitchell Starc’s over will be Rs 7.36 lakh, while the cost of one ball of Pat Cummins’ over will be Rs 6.10 lakh.

Although IPL is the Indian Premier League, the top three in terms of highest earnings are occupied by Australian players. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Sam Curran are the three most expensive players in the history of IPL. Not only this, India’s star players also lagged behind these players.

The total worth of these four-star Indian players, Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Virat Kohli, is Rs 51 crore, while Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins alone have earned Rs 45.25 crore. But the important thing in this is that Virat Kohli has not changed his franchise since the beginning of IPL.

Therefore, it can be estimated that if Virat Kohli comes for auction, how much money can be showered on him? Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra believes that his franchises are not doing justice to Virat and Jasprit Bumrah. If he comes in the auction, he can fetch up to Rs 35 crore.
