Harbhajan Singh was bought by the Mumbai Indians franchise team owned by the famous Reliance Industries for a eye tickling $8,50,000 (approximately Rs:3.4Crores).

“There are no separate match fees for IPL matches and the players are given only allowances. The match fee is calculated on a pro-rata basis of the amount he had been bought for by his franchise owner and the number of matches he’s able to play”, a top Cricket Board source informed.

SreesanthWhen calculated on above terms the player, termed “Turbanator” by the Aussie press, stood to lose Rs 2.671 crore - or close to Rs 25 lakhs per match for the 11 ties he would miss following the verdict by IPL match referee and former Test stumper, Farokh Engineer.
