Cricket News Who Are The 10 Most Expensive Cricketers In PSL 2025

IPL is going on in India, PSL is going on in Pakistan. Of the two franchise cricket leagues running in the two countries at the same time, it goes without saying that IPL is the one that attracts the most interest from cricket fans around the world. The world's biggest stars play in IPL. It is broadcast in many countries. The advertising market is huge.

Among the franchise cricket leagues, IPL is definitely the first choice of cricketers around the world. If they don't get a call there, they look for opportunities to play in other leagues. Because, the amount of money they get by playing in IPL, other leagues cannot pay even close to that.

An example will make the matter clear. For example, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was sold for the highest price in the IPL auction this time. Lucknow Super Giants bought him for 27 crore rupees.

On the other hand, Australia's David Warner is the most expensive cricketer in PSL this time. Karachi Kings bought him for 3 lakh dollars, which means about 2 crore 57 lakh rupees in Indian currency. This means that the most expensive cricketer in the IPL is getting almost 10 times more money than the most expensive cricketer in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025

Warner himself is a familiar face in the IPL for a long time. He played for Sunrisers Hyderabad for a long time, captained it, and also played for Delhi Capitals. However, the former Australian opener did not get a team in this season's auction. As a result, he decided to play in the PSL. Many others like him are playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 this time without getting a team in the IPL. However, the case of Pakistani cricketers is different. There is no question of them getting a team, they have been absent from the IPL for a long time.

Apart from David Warner, West Indies' Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Australia's Matthew Short, Sri Lanka's Kusal Perera, New Zealand's Colin Munro, Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell are playing in the PSL this time.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is currently commentating on the IPL in India. He is scheduled to play for Karachi Kings in PSL from April 23.
