For players, these moves can be career-defining, putting them under immense pressure to justify the price tag, but also offering a stage to prove their worth. The economics of the IPL have only grown more complex, with media rights, sponsorships, and global fan bases magnifying every decision. A single transfer can ripple through merchandise sales, TV ratings, and even international cricket strategies. (Image Source: iplt20.com)
