Cricket is an extremely popular sport worldwide, competing for the third or fourth most popular sport every year. (By the way, volleyball is in first place and basketball is in second, table tennis is in third.)
It is particularly popular in former British colonies, especially in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc.).
Among them, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the world's top leagues, with top players from around the world participating.
In this article, we will introduce the top 20 IPL players in terms of annual salary.
By the way, the IPL season lasts for about seven weeks from late March to mid-May.
Therefore, the salaries in this ranking are paid for playing during those seven weeks.
Moreover, it is said that top players earn several times their annual salary from advertising revenue.
