New Delhi. IPL (Indian Premier League) is the biggest cricket league in the world. The 16th season of T20 league is starting from today. The first season was played in 2008. In the auction held recently, England all-rounder Sam Karen was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18.5 crore. With this, Karen became the most expensive player in IPL history. A team can spend Rs 95 crore on the salary of the players. In this way, if we talk about 10 teams, then the players can get a maximum of 950 crores as salary.

IPL teams are also entering the leagues around the world. This includes the Caribbean Premier League, South T20 League, Major League Cricket and UAE T20 International League.
