10 Cricketers who earn more from IPL than their national team contract
IPL has turned a lot of heads with the amount it pays to certain players.
6. David Warner: ₹12 crores in IPL, INR 2.6 crore by CA
David Warner has been one of the most vital contributors to the Australian batting line-up. After making his debut without even playing a single First-Class match, he smashed 89 from 43 balls against South Africa. He was the vice-captain of the squad, but after the ball-tampering scandal, he played the role of the opener and senior player.
Warner has played 86 Test matches for Australia so far. Having featured in 128 ODIs and 81 T20Is, he is one of the most experienced batsmen in the Aussie squad. Across all the formats, he has been a consistent member of the squad and makes it to the national contract. From Cricket Australia, Warner is being paid INR 2.6 crore.
In the IPL, he is a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has played 148 IPL games so far and has been one of the consistent scorers for the team. Warner earns INR 12 crores from the Hyderabad-based franchise. Recently, he was removed from captaincy because of SRH’s poor run in the first phase of the tournament.
