MS Dhoni was bought by Chennai for a record amount, how much is Mahi getting per match in IPL?
Many times the value of cricketers skyrockets and it starting from lakhs to crores. But, do you know how much the umpires earn per match during this tournament?

Let’s seeâ€?
In comparison to the sky-high amount of money that cricketers earn in an IPL season, umpires are not far behind. Several reports have been published on the subject, and there the salary category of umpires has been discussed. Incidentally, the salary of umpires is roughly divided into two parts. The first category includes those umpires who are on the elite panel. In this category, 1.98 lakh rupees are paid for umpiring per IPL match. On the other hand, the development umpires are in the second category. They get 59 thousand rupees per match.

According to a report, an umpire is umpiring in an average of 20 matches. As a result, an umpire can earn around Rs 40 lakh in an IPL season. Besides, they also earn some money from the sponsorship logos on the umpires’ clothes. That figure is not bad at all, about 7.30 lakhs.

But it is given for the entire season. A total of 74 matches in the IPL tournament organized this year are being organized. It will not be wrong to say that the base price of some cricketers is only 20 lakh rupees. In that sense, they are pulled by a team or remain unsold. In this situation, it can be said that umpires earn more money than them.
