Remaining Purse

As announced by BCCI in 2022, there will be a Rs 5 Crore increase in the salary purse. After Rs 95 Cr last season, all franchises will have Rs 100 crore to spend from. Hence, Rs 5 crore will be added to the existing purse. Ahead of IPL 2024 Retention deadline, Punjab Kings are the richest at the moment as they have Rs 12.20 Crore left in the purse and with the addition of Rs 5 Cr, the purse will amount to Rs 18.20 Cr.

Furthermore, a lot will depend on the release and retentions. As per reports, Punjab Kings could release Sam Curran, who is on a Rs 18.5 Crore contract. By releasing him, PBKS can target high-profile bowlers like Pat Cummins or Mitchell Starc.
