4. Chris Morris is the highest-paid player
Chris Morris made a lot of noise after the IPL 2021 auction as his IPL salary jumped up to ₹16.25 crore. Rajasthan Royals went for the South African cricketer for a whopping amount.
However, the fans believe that he is the most salaried player in the IPL. Which is not true. He was the highest auctioned player. But Virat Kohli is the highest-paid player in the IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore retained Kohli, their skipper, for ₹17 crores in 2018. Since then, he has earned that amount.
Kohli is the only player who has been with the same franchise since 2008. With the mega auction aligned next year, he might earn more money as RCB won’t bid him goodbye.
