New Delhi, April 26 -- In the glitzy and glamorous T20 extravaganza we call the Indian Premier League, it's not just the big-name players who pocket the big bucks. It seems umpires in IPL 2025 are earning healthy match fees too.

According to a report in India Today, on-field officials rake in around Rs.3 lakh every time they take the field, while the fourth umpires, who aren't left out, earn around Rs.2 lakh per game.

This is a healthy amount compared to the millionaire players who hit the big sixes and scalp the important wickets.

For context, every player who plays an IPL match, including the Impact Player, picks up a cool Rs.7.5 lakh per match on top of their auction-based salaries.
