NEW DELHI: Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has overtaken stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to become the highest-paid Indian cricketer, thanks to his impressive IPL and BCCI contracts.
After being bought for an unprecedented Rs 27 crore by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the recently-concluded IPL 2025 mega auction, Pant got a cracking deal and the top salary in the Indian Premier League. Pant is the frontrunner to lead LSG in the upcoming IPL 2025 season, which kicks off on March 14.
