Of the remaining 74 per cent, 4 per cent will be paid for staff salaries. 70 per cent will be distributed to various associations. From this amount, funds will be spent on finding new players and so on. While players get Rs 6,290 crore, various associations get Rs 16,936 crore.
The arrival of two new teams and the increase in the number of games have made the IPL even more attractive. The BCCI considers the arrival of new teams to be a great success.
