Players like Babar-Shaheen will be sold more than 20 times in Pant's salary, PSl is very small in front of IPL

The IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has ended. Indian players were very popular in the auction, where bids for three players were more than Rs 20 crore. In which Rishabh Pant was included by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore, Shreyas Iyer was included in his team by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore, while Venkatesh Iyer was included in his team by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 23.75 crore. After showering so much money on the players, anyone can guess why this league is called a cash rich league.

Although IPL cannot be compared with any other league, but if it is compared with Pakistan Super League (PSL), then there is a world of difference here. Everyone knows that IPL is better than PSL in every aspect, but when it comes to money, the difference between the two becomes clear. The Pakistani league has certainly improved over the years, but in comparison the IPL is reaching new heights with each passing year.

PSL has no competition with IPL

As far as money is concerned, the dominance of IPL on PSL can be gauged from the fact that this time the highest selling Pant in IPL is not two, not four but big players like Babar Azam. Shaheen Afridi can be bought almost 20 times in PSL. Last time there were different salary brackets for players in the PSL. Here the players were divided into Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Supplementary and Silver categories.

Platinum category players in the PSL get US$170,000, which is equivalent to 1.4 crore Indian rupees. Players in the following categories receive US$130,000, 85,000, 60,000 and 25,000 respectively. The players in the platinum category include the names of top Pakistani players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Rizwan. Last time the title of this league was won by Islamabad United, where the team received Rs 4.13 crore as prize money.
