Before the start of IPL 2024, IPL Chairman Arun Singh Dhumal has given a big statement saying that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will very soon take a big and concrete step regarding the pay disparity among the players in the IPL. About to lift.

It is noteworthy that in the mini auction held in Dubai last year for IPL 2024, it was seen that due to buying less players and high purse value, some players were bought by the franchises for a higher amount.

For example, Australia’s Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins were bought by Kolkata Knight Risers and Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 24.75 and Rs 20.50 crore respectively. Both the cricketers became the two most expensive players sold in the IPL auction. However, a quality bowler like Wanindu Hasaranga got only Rs 1.50 crore.
