Money talks and nothing speaks as loudly as the riches offered by the Indian Premier League.
A total of 10 teams provide the best cricketers in the world – apart from those of Pakistan, unfortunately – a chance to not only play in the most competitive tournament in the world but also take home some of the biggest cheques in professional sport for what is a two-month tournament.

This year's tournament has already broken a number of records months before the 2023 season kicks off in April.
England all-rounder Sam Curran emerged as the most expensive player in the history of the tournament as he was picked up by Punjab Kings for an eye-watering bid of 185 million Indian rupees ($2.26 million) following a fierce bidding war with Chennai Super Kings.
Curran has become a high-profile white-ball player after his tournament-winning effort in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.
Fellow England star all-rounder Ben Stokes, young batsman Harry Brook and Australia's Cameroon Green were some of the other players to hit the jackpot during the player auction last month.
