When Rishabh Pant’s name resonated in the IPL 2025 auction, there was a race among all the teams to buy him. In the end, Lucknow Supergiants won this auction. This team bought Pant at a record price of Rs 27 crores. But the question is whether Pant will get the full money. The answer is no. A huge amount of Rishabh Pant’s IPL salary will be deducted. Let us tell you what is going to be the mathematics of Rishabh Pant’s IPL salary?
Pant’s IPL salary will be cut by this much
Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has been bought for Rs 27 crore in IPL 2025, Lucknow Supergiants has given this player the biggest salary in IPL history, but the interesting thing here is that Pant will not get that much money, his Rs 8.1 crore less is going to be received. Now you must be wondering why this is happening. Actually, Rishabh Pant will get only Rs 18.9 crore out of Rs 27 crore. Pant will have to pay a large part of his salary in tax. If media reports are to be believed, Pant will have to pay approximately 30 percent income tax. Well, not only Pant, every Indian player will have to pay tax, not everyone will get the amount for which they were sold.
Huge pressure on Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant has been bought at a huge price of Rs 27 crores and in such a situation the pressure on him has increased a lot. This player will have the responsibility of making Lucknow win the IPL, because this team has reached the playoffs twice in the last three seasons. Working with Lucknow Supergiants may be a bit difficult for Pant because this team has a long history of removing its old captains from the post. First Dhoni and then KL Rahul are examples of this. It is expected that Pant will overcome all kinds of pressure and live up to every expectation.
