IPL 2019: Highest paid player from each of the 8 teams

#6 Ben Stokes & Steve Smith - Rajasthan Royals

Ben Stokes

Salary – INR 12.5 Crore

Both Ben Stokes and Steven Smith are paid INR 12.5 Crore in the Rajasthan Royals squad. While Steve Smith missed the last season owing to the ban, Ben Stokes had a below-par season in 2018. Both the stalwarts will be looking to change that storyline in IPL 2019 and Rajasthan will benefit if the duo can do so.

The second highest paid player in the Rajasthan Royals camp is the pace bowler Jaydev Unadkat, who incidentally also had a disastrous season in the last IPL. He will be paid INR 8.40 Crore, a slightly reduced figure from his pay of the last IPL season.

Ben Stokes could not justify his price tag in the last IPL and will want to do so in the present season. He will know that if he doesn’t perform in IPL 2019, it is possible that his shares could go south. Both Stokes and Smith will try to make the IPL 2019 season count.
