How much prize money did the winner of PSL 2026 get? Rishabh Pant’s IPL salary is 5 times more than that

New Delhi: Pakistan Super League 2026 has concluded. The final match of the tournament was played between Peshawar Zalmi and Hyderabad Kingsmen. In the final, Peshawar defeated Hyderabad by 5 wickets. After becoming the champion, Peshawar, captained by Babar Azam, was handed over the prize money check along with the trophy by PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi. The winning team Peshawar received 14 crore Pakistan Rupees as prize money. Although this amount may sound huge, but if we compare it with Indian currency, it is equal to only Rs 4.76 crore. This is because one rupee of Pakistan is equal to 0.34 paise of India. That means Indian currency is stronger than Pakistani rupee.

In such a situation, Mohsin Naqvi boasted by giving a check of Rs 14 crore, but in reality the value of that Rs 14 crore is very less. So much so that if we compare it with the salary of the most expensive player playing in the Indian Premier League in India, it is 5 times more. Let us tell you that Rishabh Pant of India is currently the most expensive player in IPL. Lucknow Supergiants team gives him Rs 27 crore annually. If that amount is converted into Pakistani Rupee, it will be around Rs 80 crore. This is the reason why Rishabh Pant’s IPL salary is 5 times more than the PSL prize money.

What was the result of the final match?

Talking about the final match of Pakistan Super League 2026, the team of Hyderabad Kingsmen batted first. While batting for Hyderabad team, Sam Ayub played an inning of 54 runs in 50 balls.

On the other hand, Aaron Hardy wreaked havoc in the bowling for Peshawar and took 4 wickets for 27 runs in his 4 over spell. Apart from this, Nahid Rana also took 2 wickets while Mohammad Basit and Sufiya Mukin also took 1 wicket each. Due to the tight bowling of Peshawar, Hyderabad could score only 129 runs in 18 overs.
