Along with the players in the IPL match, there is a lot of discussion about the umpire (IPL 2023 Players). Their salary is better than many players. Many people are curious whether the umpire is paid per match or per season.
Players earn in crores in the IPL season. But the umpires are also not far behind. According to various media reports, the salary of the umpire has been divided into two categories.
In the first category are the umpires included in the Elite Panel of the ICC. These umpires are given Rs 1.98 lakh for umpiring in every IPL match. There are development umpires in the second category, who get 59 thousand rupees in every match.
According to the reports, an umpire does umpire in about 20 matches. Accordingly, he earns around Rs 40 lakh from one season of IPL. Apart from this, they are also given money for the sponsorship logo on the umpire’s dress. Its amount is around 7.30 lakh rupees (for the whole season).
The base price of the players for IPL 2023 is Rs 20 lakh. If a franchise wants to make a domestic player of India a part of its team, then it will have to pay at least 20 lakh rupees. At the same time, every umpire earns Rs 40 lakh in a season.
