The winning team in the inaugural IPL season won INR 4.8 crore, while the runner-up received INR 2.4 crore. After 15 years, the prize money has quadrupled, with the winners collecting a stunning 20 crore Indian rupees and the runners-up receiving INR 13 crore.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), according to reports in Sportstar, has set aside INR 46.5 crore in total prize money for this year's championship. The prize money hasn't changed much in recent years, however, since 2016, the winners have got INR 20 crore, while the runners-up have received INR 11 crore until 2020 when they received INR 13 crore.
