The Indian Premier League (IPL), since its inception in 2008, has given a lot of youngsters the opportunity to play international cricket.
Pocketing multi-million dollar deals, brushing shoulders with the biggest names in the game and showcasing their mettle in front of a global audience has allowed these cricketers to make the most of their acquired skills while securing the future of those who are not fortunate enough to make it to the top.
With the 2018 IPL auctions around the corner, 578 players — among them 360 Indians — will be eyeing lucrative contracts with the eight teams. There's no denying India's domestic T20 league has generated wealth for a large number of players. So does that mean it'll soon become the 'final frontier' for many a domestic player?
For 26-year-old Rahul Tripathi, who was bought by Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) for Rs 10 Lakh last year, "IPL helps you achieve the Team India dream. That said, financial security is also important since it allows you to concentrate on your game without worrying about anything else."
