Indian Premier League(IPL) is indeed the most prestigious and most celebrated T20 League in this world. It not only gives a platform to players to make it into the national team but also it has changed the lives of players overnight. There is always a chance that players from humble and simple backgrounds can become overnight stars and millionaires.

Recently, the mega auction for IPL 2025 took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where all the franchise members broke the bank on their desired players. One such player who came into the limelight for his exceptional hike in salary is young Indian wicket-keeper batter, Jitesh Sharma.

It is the biggest salary jump in IPL auction history.

RCB first purchased Jitesh for Rs 7 crore, but his price went up to Rs 11 crore when Punjab Kings (PBKS) exercised their Right to Match (RTM) option to retain him.
