The Pakistan Super League has over the years become a festival for cricket lovers in Pakistan. The extreme surge of emotions experienced in franchise cricket keeps the fans hinged to the action and PSL is no different. Another PSL season that promises to produce nerve-wracking moments is about to begin where some of the biggest names in international cricket will feature. In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 highest-paid players in PSL 2024.
PSL 2024 highest-paid players:
1. Babar Azam
The most expensive category of players in the Pakistan Super League belongs to the Platinum category. The Platinum category ranges from USD 130,000 to USD 170,000 which roughly amounts to 3 crores in Pakistani Rupees. There are various players who feature in this category and the former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is one of them. Babar has done phenomenally well in the Pakistan Super League and any franchise would justify the price tag that he is associated with. With the T20 World Cup in sight, this season of PSL will be extremely crucial for Babar as he will aim to get back into his usual run-scoring form.
2. Shaheen Shah Afridi
Another star presence in this category is Pakistan’s newly appointed T20 skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi. The ace fast bowler is a huge asset for his franchise in the league not just for his bowling skills but for his leadership skills as well. It is his captaincy record in PSL that has given him an opportunity to lead his country in the shortest format. Lahore Qalandars under his captaincy have won two consecutive titles in the last two seasons which is a testimony to Shaheen’s importance in the Qalandars setup.
3. Mohammad Rizwan
The wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is another prominent name in the Platinum Category. The Multan Sultans skipper is a great addition to his franchise. His batting potential is known to everyone but what makes him stand apart is his captaincy acumen. It was his leadership that carried Multan to the ultimate glory in 2021 when they won the PSL title. In the next two seasons, the team finished as finalists. Rizwan has been very instrumental in the consistent success of the franchise and he is a deserving name in the coveted Platinum Category.
