According to recent Hurun data, Virat Kohli has become the highest-paid player in IPL history with total earnings of around ₹230 crore, closely followed by Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni. What’s interesting is how this list mixes pure cricketing impact, captaincy value, consistency, brand power, and fan following all together.

Another interesting point is that only a few overseas players made the list despite IPL being such a global league, with Sunil Narine being the standout foreign player here.

Out of these top earners, who do you think actually delivered the best return for their franchise over the years? And which player do you think was overpaid compared to performance?

Punjab pacer Gurnoor Brar has officially earned his maiden India call-up for the Afghanistan series, and many casual fans are now discovering his story for the first time. The 25-year-old right-arm fast bowler has been steadily rising through domestic cricket with Punjab and recently impressed selectors through strong Ranji Trophy performances along with his exposure in the IPL setup.

Standing around 6'5", Brar is known for extracting bounce, bowling heavy lengths, and generating natural pace. Before entering the spotlight, he worked as a net bowler for Mumbai Indians and later represented Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans in the IPL ecosystem. Reports also mention that players like Shubman Gill and coaches like Ashish Nehra were impressed with his raw potential and work ethic.

In the 2024/25 domestic season, he reportedly picked up 33 wickets in 12 Ranji matches, including a standout 5/14 spell, which helped push him into national contention.

With Bumrah rested and India clearly testing fresh pace options, this Afghanistan series could genuinely become Gurnoor Brar's breakthrough moment.

Do you think he'll get a debut straight away, or will India ease him in slowly?

Kishan and Klaasen, not for the first time this season, played key roles when the celebrated Travishek at the top couldn't get going. Travishek was meant to be the story for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2026, but Klaashan (or should it be Kissen?) has quietly become all the talk.
