Ashwani Kumar gave MI what Trent Boult has not so far: wickets, control and INR 1.21 crore profit vs GT

Published by Parlour News

The Mumbai Indians have spent IPL 2026 looking for bowling certainty from Trent Boult. That is what premium fast bowlers are bought for. They are supposed to take the new ball, strike early and make a high-cost investment look justified. Ashwani Kumar and Trent Boult for the Mumbai Indians. (AP/REUTERS) Against the Gujarat Titans in Match 30, that role flipped. Ashwani Kumar, one of the cheaper bowling options in MI’s squad, delivered the spell Boult has struggled to produce this season. The result was not just a match-winning performance. It was also a sharp reminder that Mumbai’s best bowling return, at least on this night, came from the least expensive hand. Ashwani produced the spell MI needed Ashwani’s figures against the Gujarat Titans were elite from every angle. He bowled four overs, gave away 24 runs and picked up four wickets at an economy rate of 6.00. In those 24 balls, he got 14 dots. That gave him a dot-ball percentage of 58.33.

Pathirana’s INR 18 cr can beat Green’s INR 25.20 cr: How IPL 2026’s costliest player might earn less

Pathirana’s INR 18 cr can beat Green’s INR 25.20 cr: How IPL 2026’s costliest player might earn less

Published by Parlour News

Cameron Green’s INR25.20-crore IPL 2026 auction headline looks like a financial knockout. Comparatively, Matheesha Pathirana’s INR18-crore buy looks smaller. Matheesha Pathirana and Cameron Green in IPL.(PTI) But once you follow the money through IPL rules, India’s withholding tax, and then the player’s home-country tax, there’s a very real scenario where Pathirana ends up taking home more than Green, despite both effectively being on the same IPL salary. Why Pathirana could net more than Green: the conditions and the maths Step 1: What the player is actually paid (not what the franchise bids). IPL’s 2026 mini-auction introduced a “maximum fee” rule for overseas players: bidding can go above ₹18 crore, but an overseas player’s pay cheque is capped at INR18 crore, with any “over-cap” portion routed to a BCCI player-welfare mechanism (as reported). That’s why Green’s record bid for KKR (INR25.20 crore) does not mean ₹25.20 crore in his pocket. Pathirana was bought for INR18 crore, so the cap doesn’t reduce his fee. Practical implication: Green and Pathirana can both be on the same gross payable …

Why Cameron Green get INR 18 Crore Despite Sold for 25.2 Crore?

The Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has been the headline of the IPL 2026 auction as Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings had a bidding war for the player. He was bought by the Knight Riders for INR 25.2 crore during the event held at Abu Dhabi. However, Green will only get INR 18 crore as his IPL salary. This is because of the new ‘maximum fee’ rule that the IPL introduced last year to address the concerns of the franchises that some overseas players register exclusively for the mini-auction to earn a higher amount. Hence, the IPL came up with maximum fee rule where no overseas player can be paid more that INR 18 crore, which was the highest slab for franchises retaining players ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. Cameron Green has become the third highest expensive buy in the IPL history. He will be included with the names like Rishabh Pant who tops the list with attracting a bid of INR 27 crore from LSG and Shreyas Iyers who stands second in …
