When it comes to budget, the BCCI has set the IPL on fire and made it one of the richest sports leagues in the world. In 2024, BCCI increased the IPL budget for each team upto \u20b9100 crores (1 billion rupees) in the IPL 2024 mini-auction. During the auction, there is no limit on the money that can be offered to a player. Aussie player Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player with INR 24.75 crore in IPL 2024.

PSL instantly became one of the most popular T20 domestic leagues in Asia. Unlike IPL, there is no budgeting system for the PSL teams. The whole league works on a draft system where teams can categorize players into Platinum, gold, Silver, and Emerging. Here are the PSL 2024 players’ salaries for different categories- Platinum (INR 2.30 crore), Diamond (INR 1.15 crore), Gold (INR 82.30 lakh), Silver (INR 41.15 lakh), and Emerging (INR 16.46 lakh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Babar Azam to Shaheen Afridi there are a total of 17 players in the Platinum category with a 2.30 crore salary which is not only low in comparison to IPL\u2019s most expensive player Mitchell Starc but many uncapped players like Sameer Rizvi (INR 8.4 crore), Shubam Dubey (INR 5.8 crore).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read More<\/strong>:-\u00a0Fastest Century in IPL All Time<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With an INR 20 crore winner prize money tag, IPL is continuing its reign as the richest franchise league tournament.

Even the total PSL 2024 prize money is less than the WPL<\/a> 2024 winners RCB who received INR 6 crore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference between IPL and PSL brand value can be calculated with their international Media rights deal.

Due to worldwide popularity, Bollywood glitz, and glamor, IPL has a colossal brand value of $10.7 billion (Rs 88,000 crore). <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other side, PSL made significant progress and sold their media rights deal worth $6.3 billion (Rs 52000 crore approx.) for 2024 and 2025. Despite the noteworthy development in media rights, PSL’s estimated brand value is $330 million (INR 2700 crore approx.)<\/p>\n\n\n\nIPL vs PSL Budget Comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
