However, there were some star players who were handed a pay cut. To balance the purse for IPL Mega Auction and retain other players, these players took a cut in their IPL salary. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:10pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">Virat Kohli<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:10.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">Virat Kohli in the 2021 season of the IPL was the highest-paid cricketer in the league with a salary of <strong>17 crores<\/strong>. In the recent retention, RCB announced that the former captain has been retained for a sum of <strong>15 crores<\/strong>; a <strong>12% decrease<\/strong> from the last season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:10pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">MS Dhoni<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/aa-ms.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:10.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">Four-time IPL winning captain for <strong>Chennai Super Kings<\/strong>, <strong>Mahendra Singh Dhoni<\/strong> decided to be the second retention choice for the team and consequently, Ravindra Jadeja was the first pick for 16 crores. &#39;Captain Cool&#39; MS Dhoni is retained for <strong>12 crores<\/strong>, a <strong>20% pay<\/strong> cut from his 2021 salary of <strong>15 crores<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:10pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">Glenn Maxwell<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/maxi.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:10.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">&#39;Big Show&#39; Glenn Maxwell had a fabulous season for <strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore<\/strong>, as he redeemed himself from a bad run with the Punjab &amp; Delhi&nbsp;franchise. However, even after his good performance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-retention-glenn-maxwell-gets-a-pay-cut-for-the-first-time-reward-for-performing-well-89053\">he was handed a pay cut<\/a>. Maxwell was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a staggering sum of <strong>14.25 crores<\/strong>. Now, he is retained for 11 crores (<strong>23% decrease<\/strong>), perhaps to maintain a good amount in the RCB purse for the Mega Auction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom:10pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">Sunil Narine<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/aa-narine.jpg\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:10.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">The mystery spinner from West Indies, Sunil Narine took the biggest pay cut as he was retained by <strong>Kolkata Knight Riders<\/strong> for <strong>6 crores<\/strong>.

They have a purse of 33 crores to make these 3 purchases - 15 crores, 11 crores &amp; 7 crores respectively. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:10.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"text-autospace:none\">In the first week of January, IPL 2022 Mega Auction would be held.
