10 cricketers who turned millionaires overnight due to IPL
In the last 15 years, IPL has strengthened a lot of players financially.
1. Cameron Green in 2023
Cameron Green displayed his magic during Australia’s tour of India in 2022 and became a notable figure in cricketing circles. The right-handed Aussie chalked up 118 runs in three T20Is at a marvellous strike rate of 214.54 and became the highest run-getter in the series.
Noting his exceptional batting against the Men in Blue during the India tour, some franchises showed interest in signing Green at the 2023 IPL auction held in Kochi. In the end, it was MI who got success in signing the talented Australia all-rounder. The five-time IPL champions splurged INR 17.5 crore for getting the Australia stalwart services in the competition.
After getting signed at the humongous price, MI’s expectations from Green were high. The 24-year-old didn’t disappoint his franchise as he played his role incredibly with the bat, scoring 452 runs in 16 games at a stunning strike rate of 160.28. With the ball, he claimed six wickets at an economy of 9.50.
