The stump is worth lakhs
Earlier the bowlers had even broken the stumps. So in such a situation the question is bound to arise that what is the cost of the stumps and bails used in IPL. Some IPL players do not even get paid as much for playing a season as the cost of the stumps used during the match. According to reports, the stumps used during the league cost Rs 20 to 30 lakh. Apart from this, the price of LED bulbs is 40 to 50 thousand rupees. Two sets of stumps are used during the match. In such a situation, stumps worth about Rs 50 lakh are used during a match.
Bronte Ackerman invented
Let us tell you that LED stumps and bails were invented by Bronte Ackerman of Australia. He created it along with his business partner David Legitwood. However, in 2013 he sold the idea to Cricket Australia during the BBL. ICC had used these stumps and bails in the T20 World Cup as an experiment in 2013 itself. These stumps are equipped with sensors, which makes it easier for the umpire to take decisions. Apart from this, the voice of the players is also captured in the mic installed in the stump, which later becomes a topic of discussion on social media.
