Virat Kohli’s IPL salary: How much has the salary increased from 2008 to 2024
Virat Kohli resigns from captaincy in 2022 season Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Virat Kohli is one of those players who has participated in every edition of IPL. Apart from this, he has represented Royal Challengers Bangalore since its inception. RCB included him in the inaugural edition of the season in 2008 for Rs 12 lakh. After this Virat never looked back. Kohli started his IPL career with a good salary, which remained the same for him for the first three seasons (2008–2010). However, 2011 saw a tremendous increase in his IPL salary. RCB recognized his potential and retained him for Rs 8.28 crore. After this, the franchise made him the full time captain in 2013. The next season saw an increase of Rs 12.5 crore in Kohli’s IPL salary. The 2016 season was Kohli’s best as he scored a record-breaking 973 runs with four centuries, helping RCB reach the final. Salary cut during the season affected by Covid epidemic Due to this incredible performance, his salary saw a further increase in 2018. When he became the most expensive player of the league with a salary of Rs 17 crore and this salary remained intact till 2021. It is worth noting that during the 2022 season affected by the Covid pandemic, Kohli voluntarily accepted a cut in his salary, in which he received an amount of Rs 15 crore. Now for the last three seasons, Delhi born players have been playing on the same salary. Let us tell you that in the 2022 season, the experienced player resigned from the role of captaincy and handed it over to Faf du Plessis to focus completely on batting. In the same year, he continued his dominance and scored 741 runs in the next season. With the retention deadline of 2025 approaching, Virat Kohli is expected to be retained for Rs 18 crore. There is also news that he is interested in captaining RCB again in the upcoming season.
Aakash Chopra supports Rishabh Pant’s inclusion in this IPL team
There is a lot of discussion about Rishabh Pant’s participation in the auction. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction, all the franchises have to submit the list of their retained players, the last date of which is October 31. According to the new guidelines issued by BCCI, a franchise can retain a maximum of 6 players including uncapped players. Meanwhile, many players are involved in the auction race, but the name of players like Rishabh Pant is also in discussion. Pant has led Delhi in 43 matches. He also took command of the team in IPL 2024. Pant made a spectacular comeback last season after recovering from a car accident. Now amid the news of Pant joining the auction, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that he should go to RCB as captain. He said that most franchises can spend big money for a flamboyant cricketer. If his name comes in the auction, a lot of money will be spent: Aakash Chopra Chopra said on his YouTube channel, it is heard that Rishabh Pant may be available in the auction. But many people say that his figures in T20 are not that good, he has had only one successful season in IPL and apart from that he has not scored much runs either. I can give you in writing that if his name comes in the auction, a huge amount will be spent. He further said that, RCB needs a keeper, a batsman and maybe a captain. Punjab will be in need because they will have no one. Delhi will need it, RTM card will be available. KKR also needs him. What about CSK, they need. If Ishan Kishan is left out, Mumbai will also need him. Let us tell you that the last season was good for Rishabh Pant, who returned after a two-year long injury. He scored 446 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 155.40. After this strong performance, he directly joined the Indian team and played in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Will David Warner return from retirement? Wife Candice gave a big reaction
David Warner has expressed his desire to join the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. David Warner & his Wife (Photo Source: Instagram) Australian veteran player David Warner retired from Test and ODI formats in January this year. He then played his last T20 International against India on 24 June during the T20 World Cup 2024. Announcing his retirement on social media, Warner had said that if the team needs him for the Champions Trophy 2025, he can return to the national team. Australia is going to play a five-match Test series against India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home from November 22. Warner has expressed his desire to join the team for this also. However, David Warner’s wife has rejected his return to the national team. David Warner’s wife gave this statement Expressing his desire to join the Australian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Warner told News Corp, “I am always available, (Cricket Australia selectors) just have to pick up the phone.” David Warner’s wife Candice Warner denied reports of his return and told Fox Sports’ The Back Page, He is very keen to play for Australia and I think if selector George Bailey or coach Andrew McDonald picked up the phone and said ‘we need you’ he would be ready to go. But that’s definitely not going to happen. I think he wouldn’t have said that if he really didn’t think he was capable of doing it, but that’s no disrespect to any opener or people (for selection). If he has to go down that path to playing again, he has to do it the same way as everyone else playing the Sheffield Shield and everything like that. But this is not happening.
“People give credit to Rishabh Pant but the real hero of 2021 BGT win was Pujara” – Tim Paine’s surprising statement
Cheteshwar Pujara & Tim Paine (Photo Source: Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently opened up about how important Cheteshwar Pujara’s role was in India’s memorable 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win. Paine said that Pujara played the most important role in that series win but people still give his credit to Rishabh Pant. In the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after suffering a humiliating defeat in Adelaide, India, without their regular captain Virat Kohli and several key senior players, made a spectacular comeback and won the series 2-1. On the 2020-21 Australia tour, Team India won the last Test match of the series, which was played at the Gabba ground, by three wickets, in which Rishabh Pant played the match-winning innings. That innings of Rishabh Pant was recorded in the pages of history. Pant is considered the hero of the 2020-21 Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has a different opinion about it. He believes that because of Cheteshwar Pujara, Team India had captured the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. The player who won the series for India in the last series was Cheteshwar Pujara – Tim Paine Tim Paine said on the Grade Cricketers podcast, ‘From what I remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant, in the last series in Australia, but the man who won the series for India was Cheteshwar Pujara. He had demoralized us and our fast bowlers. He was continuously getting the ball hit on his body, but was getting up again and again. It still has its place in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pujara may not have scored a century, but he spent a long time at the crease, and tired the Australian bowlers. Pujara had scored 271 runs in the four-match Test series, of which 77 was his best score. Whereas Rishabh Pant had scored 274 runs in the series.
“This is a big series which I want to win”- Cummins wants to defeat Team India at any cost in BGT.
While being the captain of Australia, Pat Cummins has so far won the Ashes Series, World Test Championship and ODI World Cup. But he has not yet been able to win the Border-Gavaskar Test series against India and the 31-year-old fast bowler wants to include this trophy in his cabinet by defeating India in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is starting from November 22 and the first match of the series will be played in Perth. Winning the Test series against India is a big thing. Pat Cummins wants to achieve this. The upcoming five-match Test series is going to be very exciting. Pat Cummins is yet to have the experience of winning a Test series against India, be it at home or away. This is a big thing I want to accomplish – Pat Cummins Australia has not won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the last 10 years. In such a situation, this is a sequence which the Australian captain wants to break on home soil this year. “It’s a big thing I want to accomplish,” Cummins told AAP on Tuesday. Especially winning at home. “Most Australians, including myself, expect us to perform well whenever we play at home.” He further said, “We have lost the (last) two series against India (in Australia), so this is a big thing. We feel like our team is in really good shape, so we have no reason not to perform really well. I always hope that we perform well against whoever we play, but there is pressure to perform well against India. “That makes it a big year and a big season.” Pat Cummins believes that there will be pressure on the Australian team. “I think whenever a team is under pressure, it is not a bad thing if you are playing against them, but they have played here before and done well. Our job is to keep them calm, see what we do.”
