How much salary does a player who does not play a single match get?

IPL 2024: IPL is now one of the biggest sports leagues in the world and by now players must have realized that this league can make players millionaires. In the auction, some young players are bought for lakhs while the bid placed on some goes above Rs 15-20 crores. In such a situation, a question must be arising in the minds of people that the players who remain sitting on the bench during the entire season, are they paid the full price? Do these players earn lakhs of crores even without playing matches?

Earning lakhs and crores without playing

The basis of money received by players in IPL is how many matches a player is available to play. This means that even if a player does not get a chance to play in the playing eleven for the entire season, sitting on the bench will not affect the amount he gets. For this, players have to ensure that they join the training camp before the start of the season and are always available to play during the league.

Usually any team tries to field with its best playing eleven, but often the young players who are waiting for their debut are kept on the bench. Apart from this, if any player gets injured during the tournament, he is also given full money and the cost of his investigation is borne by the franchise. For example, Kane Williamson was injured while playing last season and he was paid the full amount.
