IPL Salary – By the Numbers
The average salary of an Indian Premier League (IPL) player is $459,743 per season (average of 24 players in each squad with average spending of $11,079,800 per team). In total, $110,798,000 have been spent for 241 players, divided among 10 teams.

Punjab Kings spent the most on overseas players at $831,429 per player, while Chennai Super Kings (CSK) paid their overseas players the least, still at $449,750. Due to auction dynamics, the opposite happened for domestic players – PBKS paid the least – only $284,733 for domestic players, while CSK paid the most – on average, $458,294 per player per season.
Note: All amounts shown are as of December 2022, when the auction for IPL 2023 took place. At this time, the conversion is as follows: $1 = INR 82 (so overall $110 Million is equivalent to about INR 909 Crore, the total amount spent all teams combined).

CPL Salary – By the Numbers
The average salary of a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) player is $45,882 (maximum 17 players in squad with a maximum purse of $780,000). Hence, the maximum salary cap for the entire CPL was $4.68 million for a maximum of 102 players, divided among 6 teams.
