IPL 2016 Highest Paid Players, Full List of IPL Season 9 Player Salaries

There are just two days left for the 2016 edition of the IPL to commence as we get ready for another gripping and entertaining season of T20 cricket. Quite a lot has changed since the previous IPL in 2015, the most prominent change being the absence of former champion sides Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, both of whom are facing a two-year suspension following the spot-fixing controversy.


Taking their place are two new franchises, Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions, which ensures that the IPL remains an 8-team affair. Most of the players released by both the tainted franchises have found new teams, with some of the top names falling in the kitty of the two new joiners on the IPL team roster.

While the Rising Pune Supergiants bagged the likes of MS Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin and Steven Smith, the Gujarat Lions acquired the services of players such as Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo and Brendon McCullum. All of these names feature in the list of the highest paid players in the ninth season of India's premier domestic T20 tournament.
