The 15th edition of the grandeur event – Indian Premier League (IPL) &#8211; is set to sail in the month of April. The tournament has come a long way. One prime example which proves the eminence of the league is the amount of audience who waited for the teams to announce the retention list.

The once-in-three-year affair of the mega auction is now much anticipated by the fanatics. It is expected to be held in the last week of December or in the first week of January 2022. Many retentions of some franchises were unexpected.

Most of the teams have retained their star players and some have failed to convince their big guns. Money plays a crucial role in this tournament and almost 23 players have got extended pay considering their market values. Interestingly, some of the big-name players have taken a pay cut in their salary from last season due to various reasons.

In the list, let&#8217;s take a look at players, who took a pay cut for IPL 2022

He has been tremendous with the ball right from his first IPL game and has become a pinch hitter in the last few years. He still has the mystery in his fingers and troubles the batters with his fruitful variations.

Narine also has a terrific strike rate of 161 with the bat. He was an integral performer of the team and in fact, the team reached the finals last season largely due to his heroics. On playing 134 matches, he has taken 143 wickets with a terrific economy of 6.7.

He was the second-highest-paid cricketer in the KKR set up last season with a huge amount of Rs. 12.5 crores. But he has been retained only for less than half the amount this time for Rs. 6 crores. The Caribbean player, in spite of knowing that he would go high in the auctions, accepted the offer from the KKR franchise without any hesitation.

He was the find for RCB last season as he provided them the balance in the middle order as well as in the bowling department. He is one of the best T20 batters in the world currently who can play 360° throughout the field.

The big show was picked in the auction for Rs. 14.25 crores last season, but now has been retained second by the RCB franchise for a price of Rs 11 crores. He&#8217;s always had a big price tag behind his name during the auctions every year. He had a poor IPL season for Punjab in the 2020 season scoring just 108 runs without a six to this power-hitting monster.

But things turned around for him when he was picked by the RCB. He had a terrific season with the bat and was also more than handy with the new ball in the powerplay. There is a huge expectation from him in the upcoming seasons. Maxwell would be the future for the team along with Virat as their star AB De Villiers retired recently.

The face of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohlis-fate-as-odi-skipper-to-be-decided-as-squad-for-south-africa-tour-set-to-be-named-this-week/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> was the highest-paid cricketer in the history of IPL for many years together. He has been receiving an exorbitant salary of Rs. 17 crores from 2017. RCB has never left him out of the team to date though he occupies a huge amount.

Virat has been playing for RCB since the inaugural edition of the IPL and has emerged as the best player in the tournament and for the franchise. The modern-day legend stands tall in the list of highest IPL run-scorers with 6283 runs in 207 matches. He has accepted a pay cut of Rs. 2 crores and will feature in this edition of IPL for a price of Rs. 15 crores.

Kohli announced his withdrawal from captaincy recently and this might be the reason for his acceptance of salary cut. This decision of him is much appreciable and will allow the team to concentrate and fill the remaining slots with the freedom in the purse.

He has been the most precious gem of the Chennai Super Kings and is valued god-like by the fans and franchise of Chennai.

Dhoni has been getting the lion’s share since his appearance in the inaugural edition. He was the costliest pick when CSK bought him for USD 1.5 million in 2008. The legend has always justified his price point and he has led the team to lift four IPL trophies.

Dhoni is the eighth highest run-getter of the tournament and has the pride of featuring in the IPL for the most number of matches (220). The 40-year-old player has reduced the salary by Rs. 3 crores to feature in the upcoming season.

He generously left his number one spot for his ally Ravindra Jadeja, and has settled in the second spot with Rs. 12 crores considering his increase in age and decrease in individual performance.
