Mustafizur Rahman has decided to play in the Pakistan Super League after being released by Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR had bought him for Rs 9.20 crore in the auction held for IPL 2026, but after growing protests in India, on the instructions of BCCI, the franchise released the Bangladesh fast bowler. Let us tell you that even if Mustafizur gets the highest amount of PSL, it will not be even half of the amount decided by KKR.
There was a tough competition in the IPL 2026 auction to buy Mustafizur Rahman, when his price crossed Rs 9 crore. Apart from KKR, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals were also showing interest in buying him. Recently, there were demonstrations in India against the killing of Hindu youth in Bangladesh. KKR and team owner Shahrukh Khan started being criticized because they had bought the Bangladeshi player for a huge amount of Rs 9.20 crore.
After increasing protests, BCCI directed KKR to release Mustafizur. After this Bangladesh banned IPL telecast in its country. Mustafizur got his name registered for Pakistan Super League 2026.
What will be Mustafizur Rahman’s PSL 2026 salary?
Unlike IPL, there is no auction in PSL, rather a draft system is used there. Mustafizur Rahman can be sold in the platinum category in PSL, which is the highest category in this league. Mustafizur is a world class bowler, who recently completed his 400 T20 wickets. If he also gets Platinum, the highest category of PSL, then his salary will be Rs 2.57 crore (Indian currency). KKR had bought him for more than 3 times its price. Let us tell you that franchises can choose maximum 3 platinum players.
