IPL 2024 has concluded with Kolkata Knight Riders emerging as champions. As the excitement of IPL fades, cricket fans are now eagerly awaiting the T20 World Cup. Many top players will once again showcase their talents on the global stage. However, the prize money for the T20 World Cup is significantly lower compared to the IPL.
In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders won a massive ₹20 crores, while runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad received ₹12.5 crores. The third and fourth-placed teams, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, each took home ₹7 crores.
T20 World Cup 2024 Prize Money
The prize money for the T20 World Cup 2024 is considerably less. The winning team will receive $1.6 million (around ₹13.3 crores), and the runners-up will get ₹6.65 crores. The total prize pool for the T20 World Cup is $5.6 million (approximately ₹46.56 crores). Teams that reach the semi-finals will earn about ₹3.32 crores, while those eliminated in the Super-12 stage will receive ₹58 lakhs.
This stark difference highlights that the IPL remains the richest cricket league in the world, with no other tournament coming close in terms of financial rewards. As teams gear up for the T20 World Cup, the Indian team is also fully prepared to take on the global challenge.
