#1 David Warner- $2.4 million

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the newest franchises in the IPL but they have become one of the most important ones in the competition in the past few years. A large part of their success is attributed to David Warner.
In 2014, he was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs. 5.5 crores (around $ 847000). His performances with the bat and his captaincy made him one of the most valuable players in the IPL. Earlier this year, the Australian left-hander was retained by SRH for a whopping $2.4 million. Although he won’t see any of that money this year due to his suspension, he is all set to be back in the saddle next year.
