Highest Paid IPL Players: Who’s On Top?

The IPL is the costliest cricket league in the world, and there is a lot of money associated with it as the players are paid a significant amount of salary. Now let us have a look at the highest paid athletes in IPL history.

The list is obviously nominated by some of the best players in the league, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Brothers, but when it comes to the ranking Kohli is the one on top.

1. Virat Kohli - ₹230.2 crore

2. Rohit Sharma - ₹227.2 crore

3. M.S. Dhoni - ₹200.3 crore

4. Ravindra Jadeja - ₹157.0 crore

5. Rishabh Pant - ₹137.8 crore

6. Sunil Narine - ₹137.2 crore

7. Sanju Samson - ₹126.5 crore

8. K.L. Rahul - ₹126.1 crore

9. Shreyas Iyer - ₹126.0 crore

10. Hardik Pandya - ₹122.0 crore

It is interesting to note that Virat Kohli has made around ₹230 crore from the IPL itself, which is a significant number and he is closely followed by Rohit Sharma, who has made around 227 crore. Dhoni is third on the list with ₹200 crore.

Rishabh Pant is the youngest player on the list, and he has managed to find a position here, despite not being in good form for the last five years.

Hardik Pandya, who was traded back to Mumbai Indians, a couple of years ago is on 10th position, but there are reports about his off the charts payment which could have been significantly higher.
