In IPL 2025, there is a fierce battle between 10 teams. After the 3 -week game, the thrill of the tournament is speaking to the heads of the fans. Meanwhile, Pakistan Super League is also starting from April 11. After not selling in the IPL, many players are now going to participate in this league. Both of them in India and Pakistan have no match in anything. Even there is a difference of land and sky in the salary of both league captains. PSL has 6 captains in this season, but all of them together will not be able to earn even half the salary of Rishabh Pant alone. Let us know the difference between the salary of IPL and PSL captains and them.

IPL vs PSL: Most expensive captain

First of all, let's talk about both the most expensive captains of the league. Rishabh Pant is the captain of Lucknow Super Giants and for him, the IPL 2025 mega auction was bid of 27 crores. He is not only this season but also the most expensive captain of IPL. On the other hand, if we compare PSL, then the most expensive captain of this season is David Warner. He is going to captain Karachi Kings in the current season. The Karachi team bought him for $ 3 lakh i.e. about 2.58 crores.

That is, there is a difference of about 11 times between the most expensive captain in both the leagues. The most expensive captain of IPL is getting about 24.5 crore more money from the most expensive captain of PSL.

Pant earns more than all the captains of PSL alone

Pakistan Super League is 6 captains in 2025. Apart from David Warner, Pakistan's star batsmen Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, Saud Shakeel and Shadab Khan are going to captain. Let us take a look at the salary of all these.

1. David Warner (Karachi Kings) - $ 3 million (2.58 crore)
2. Babar Azam (Peshawar Jalmi)- 2.2 million dollars (1.89 crore)
3. Mohammad Rizwan (Multan Sultans)- 2.2 million dollars (1.89 crore)
4. Shaheen Afridi (Lahore Kalandars)- 2.2 million dollars (1.89 crore)
5. Saud Shakeel (Quetta Gladiators)- 2.2 million dollars (1.89 crore)
6. Shadab Khan (Islamabad United)- 2.2 million dollars (1.89 crore)

In this way, the total cost of all 6 captains of PSL is $ 14 lakh i.e.

about 12.04 crores, while Rishabh Pant alone is 27 crores. This means that they are not getting even half the price of Pant.
