"Unlike other leagues, prize money is not a big factor in IPL. But yes, we have not revised the prize money for some time and it’s due. We will discuss whether it warrants a revision soon," one of the BCCI officials told InsideSport.

As per a report, the BCCI officials are considering increasing the amount of IPL Prize Money by 20 to 25 percent. 

"That (increasing prize money) is currently under discussion. The prize money should be increased by 20-25% from next year. But the amount is not yet final. There should be a decision next year before the tournament," a senior BCCI official said. 

Not to forget, the Rs 20 crore prize money which the winner gets so far in IPL is still the highest for any cricket league. The team owners do not depend of the earnings from the prize money. Although winning leagues help them make their franchises a big brand, the majour source of earnings are the ads and the IPL media rights income which thr BCCI shares with the teams.
