IPL: Since 2008, IPL has taken the careers of many cricketers to new heights. Some made their mark on this platform, some created history here. There are some legends who have scored a lot of runs but their dream of winning the IPL trophy has not been fulfilled. These include names like KL Rahul, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul is one of the most reliable and consistent batsmen of IPL. Rahul has so far scored 5222 runs in 145 matches, which includes many explosive innings. Rahul, who has played for teams like Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and RCB, has both class and aggression in his batting. Even after this, till now no season has been able to make him champion.

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers’ name is counted among the most charismatic players in IPL history. He scored 5162 runs in 184 matches. His helicopter shots, backfoot cover drives and ability to score runs in every direction in the field made the fans crazy. AB, who played for Delhi Daredevils and RCB, also could not fulfill his dream of lifting the trophy with Virat Kohli.

chris gayle

Chris Gayle set a new standard for beating bowlers in the IPL. He scored 4965 runs in 184 matches, which included six centuries. Gayle played many stormy innings for teams like Kolkata, Bangalore and Punjab. Even after this, he does not have a single IPL title in his account.

sanju samson

Sanju Samson’s name is also included in the list. There is both class and timing in his batting. Till now he has scored 4704 runs in 177 matches. As the captain of Rajasthan Royals, he brought the team close to victory many times, but luck did not favor him in the final.

Rishabh Pant

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant is one of the most exciting batsmen of the IPL. He has scored 4704 runs in 177 matches. On many occasions, he single-handedly changed the course of the match, but Pant has not been able to win the trophy even once.

A group of major IPL franchises offered Australian captain Pat Cummins and vice-captain Travis Head a multi-year deal worth 1 million Australian dollars (Rs 58.46 crore) exclusively to play in the T20 league but both players turned it down. This claim was made in a report.

According to the report of ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, this offer is almost six times more than the amount that top Australian players get under the central contracts of their boards. These proposals were made earlier this year by IPL-backed investors in an effort to create full-time franchise teams.

“Offers made by an IPL team group this year were politely turned down by two Australian cricket legends who are fully committed to the national team,” the report said.

Senior Australian players earn around 15 lakh Australian dollars (about Rs 8.77 crore) annually from Cricket Australia (CA) contracts, taking Cummins’ total income to 30 lakh Australian dollars (Rs 17.54 crore) including captaincy allowance.

The report said the development came amid discussions between Cricket Australia, state bodies and the players’ association on the possible privatization of the Big Bash League, underscoring the growing financial strength of the global T20 franchise.

Head, who played in both the IPL and Major League Cricket last year, admitted that playing franchise tournaments gave him a glimpse of life outside international cricket but insisted his focus would remain on Australia.

“Right now I’m playing for Australia and I don’t see any time when I’ll really be playing anything else… I want to commit as much as I can to Australia,” Head said.

The Indian Premier League i.e. IPL is one of the most expensive and popular cricket leagues in the world. Every year, crores of rupees bid on domestic and foreign players. But have you ever wondered if the cricketers get the full amount from the IPL? Or do they have to pay tax on this earning? Let us tell you the answer to this question whether the cricketers do not really pay tax on IPL money.

How does tax cut?

In India, it is mandatory to pay income tax on every kind of income and IPL earnings are also not different from this. Whether the player is Indian or foreigners, they have to pay tax on their earnings. In the IPL, the amount received by the players from the franchise is considered as ‘professional income’. This amount is added to their annual income and then tax is deducted according to the tax slab applied to it.

Tax rules for Indian players

Indian players have to pay tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961 on IPL earnings. When the players are auctioned for the IPL, their auction is cut from the amount as TDS. The Government of India imposes 10 percent tax on the salary of Indian players, this tax is deducted as TDS before paying the IPL franchise player. At the same time, 20 percent tax is deducted on the salary of foreign players.

How does tax cut?

For example, if a player’s salary is Rs 10 crore, then the franchise will deduct Rs 1 crore as a tax before paying the player. While there is a foreign player, then 2 crores. The cut TDS is deposited with the players with the players.

TDS rule

In the IPL, the franchisees deduct 10% tax deduction at source (TDS) before paying the players. Some franchise makes half the payment before the season starts, after the rest of the season is over. The BCCI ensures that the players get complete payment.

Former Indian all -rounder Irfan Pathan has broken the silence after being suddenly excluded from the IPL 2025 commentary team. Recently, there were reports that Pathan was removed because he targeted the players on-air with his old differences. Irfan may not have named anyone, but it was believed that Rohit Sharma was also involved in it.

Irfan spoke openly on this controversy in ‘Lallantop’ show Guest in the Newsroom. He was directly asked that due to the comment on which player he was out of the IPL commentary? In response to this, he said that his job is to tell the truth to the audience and not to save the players.

“My responsibility to speak the truth in commentary”

Irfan Pathan said that the real work of the commentary is not just to tell about the events happening on the field, but the reason and impact behind it is also to reach the audience. According to Pathan, “If a player is playing well then it should be praised, and if the player’s performance is not good then it is also necessary to criticize. Our duty is not for the players, but for the audience.”

Comments on Rohit Sharma’s Test performance

Irfan admitted that he had questioned Rohit Sharma’s 2024/25 Test season. At that time, Rohit scored only 164 runs in 8 Tests. During this time, only one half -century came from his bat and his average was also very low. Pathan said that it was just an analysis based on his performance, not a personal attack on him.

Like you will call me, you will show respect. When you came, we also showed respect, we also showed that we said that we said that he said that he said that he said that he said that he said that he was They were not entitled to the place in the team.

India’s legendary cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has made big allegations against the Chennai Super Kings franchise. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin claimed that CSK had hidden the most hidden to sign the dewald bravis. Brevis is the same player, which the Chennai team signed as a replacement of Gurjapneet Singh in IPL 2025. The young South African player Bravis was added to him by the Chennai team by paying an amount of Rs 2.2 crore.

Ravichandran Ashwin said that many teams wanted to include Brevis in their squad. But after holding several talks with Brevis agents, CSK included him with more money. Ashwin also said that players like Brevis know that they will get more money than the base price in the auction, so they have power to keep the demand for money according to their mind.

Ashwin’s revelation

Ravichandran Ashwin said, “I tell something about Bravis. He spent a lot of time with Chennai Super Kings in the last IPL season and many teams were showing interest in them. Many teams did not include them with them due to high price. They should have received the base price amount as a replacement, but you will get more money and say that they will get more money.”

Ashwin further said, “This is because the player knows that the next season is released, he will get a lot of money in the auction. The concept of Brevis was that either he will get more money, or he will register the name in the next season auction. Since CSK was ready to pay more money, he came to the team.”

Dewald Bravis played just 6 matches last season, in which he scored 225 runs at an average of 37.50. In 6 matches, he also had 2 fifty.
