Being the most expensive league in the world, everyone is eager to play in this tournament. Every player wants to earn money by playing in IPL. There was a time when Pakistani players also got a chance to play in it. Later, the entry of 2008 Mumbai attack players was also banned.

Shoaib Malik was paid more than 2 crores in the Delhi team at that time. This was a big amount because Delhi had included him as an all-rounder. Rajasthan Royals won that season and the captain was Shane Warne, who is no longer in this world.

Talking about Shoaib Malik's performance, he was a complete flop with both the ball and the bat. After playing 7 matches, Shoaib Malik was able to contribute only 52 runs. He was able to take 2 wickets while bowling. Although he was a good player at that time, that season did not go well for him.
