IPL 2019: You will be shocked to know how much IPL cheerleaders make in every match

Indian Premier League is just round the corner and the auction is done and dusted. With IPL coming back to the country, comes back the magic and glamour. The cash rich tournament is known for its cheerleaders as well and do you know how much they earn? Carrying a smile and dancing under the sun and listening to the crowd commenting is not at all easy. The girls carrying pom-pom sweat as much as the players do.

With NFL cheerleaders earning $75 to $150 per game and make as much as $50 an hour for corporate appearances their IPL counterparts make more money than them. IPL cheerleaders make $112 to $140 per game and can get $115 to $120 for making corporate appearances.

Every team in the IPL pay a base salary of Rs. 8000 and a bonus of Rs, 3000 if the team wins the game. But Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith’s Rajasthan Royals pay their girls Rs. 9000 as base salary with a winning bonus of Rs. 3000 per game.

The highest paid cheerleaders are from Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers’ Royal Challengers Bangalore, who pays a base salary of Rs. 10,000 per game with a bonus of Rs. 3000 if they win the match. With Virat and De Villiers hitting boundaries every second ball, it is obvious that their girls get more salary than other teams.
