IPL 2024 has been meme-fest and wholesome at the same time. Watching an IPL match is no less than watching a masala movie with drama, comedy, and many twists. Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Mumbai Indians in the 8th T20 match of the series. Ahead of SRH’s second league match, there is a lot of curiosity about Captain Pat Cummins’s next move. But did you know that besides being the highest-earning captain in IPL 2024, Cummins is also taking home the bucks by a considerable margin compared to Legends like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni?
The SRH Captain made headlines during the mini-auction held in Dubai after his bid exceeded Rs. 20 Crore. At the same time, Mitchel Starc’s bid value surpassed Cummins. He is still the highest-paid captain in IPL history. This surplus in his cricket value comes after he led the Australian team to victory in the World Cup 2023.
Cummins’s salary has been compared with Lucknow Super Giant’s KL Rahul, who gets a whopping Rs. 17 Crore for his stint as the captain. People don’t know that Cummins is getting a significantly higher salary than CSK’s super player, MS Dhoni, and the difference is staggering.

MS Dhoni, who has stayed loyal to Chennai Super Kings since IPL‘s first season, was retained by the team in 2022 for Rs. 12 Crore. SRH’s Pat is getting Rs. 20 Crore, making his salary for IPL 2024 65% more than what Dhoni is earning.
The other player Pat Cummins has been compared to is Virat Kohli, but Cummins has surpassed Kohli. Kohli was retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022 for Rs. 15 Crore, and again, looking at simple comparisons, the SRH captain is minting 33% more in match earrings than King Kohli.
Sunrisers Hyderabad played their first match against Kolkata Knight Riders, with KKR emerging victorious by 4 Runs.
Fans of Sunrisers Hyderabad are waiting with bated breath to see if the team will register a win today against Mumbai Indians. IPL 2024 streams on Jio Cinema and airs on Star Sports Network on Cable and DTH.
