Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) – 17 crore
The 31-year-old Indian captain Virat Kohli is also handling the leadership role of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Though Kohli-led RCB didn’t perform well in the last three IPL editions, the franchise still has enough strong faith in the Indian captain. Kohli is also leading the list of salaries in IPL 2020 as his present salary is INR 17 crore.
Kohli has led RCB in 110 IPL matches, out of where his team won 49 matches and lost 55 games (four no results and two tied matches – one win and one defeat). Under his captaincy, RCB finished as the runners-up in IPL 2016.
