India and Pakistan have been considered the archrivals of cricket, consistently producing numerous match winners. India has gifted champion cricket players like Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammad Shami. On the other hand, Pakistan has produced legends such as Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, and Inzamam-ul-Haq in the past. With current stars like Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi dominating the scene.
Speaking of current players, let’s see how much they are paid by their respective boards. How much does the BCCI pay Indian players, and how much does the PCB pay Pakistan players?
Virat Kohli
When it comes to runs or money, King Kohli tops both lists. Since Virat Kohli is in Grade A+ of the BCCI, he receives a huge sum of 7 crores. Making him one of the richest players in the world. Apart from the BCCI yearly salary and match fees. He is also involved in lots of brands and advertisem*nts, contributing to his net worth of approximately INR 770 crores.
Babar Azam
When it comes to money, Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam is also not behind anyone, as the star batter is known for his consistency in all forms of cricket. Just like his batting, his net worth also speaks volumes. The Pakistan skipper earns PKR 4.5 million (approximately ₹13.14 lakh) every month. Also, just like Virat Kohli, he has signed with various brands such as OPPO, Head & Shoulders, and Kayoo Sports, from which he earns $5 million (INR 41 crore).
Rohit Sharma
The current Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, known for his aggressive batting style and ability to score big runs, arguably rivals any player in understanding how to utilize the batting powerplay. Known as ‘The Hitman’, just as he constructs big innings, the same goes for his wealth, as he is also one of the richest players in world cricket.
He has been placed in the Group A+ category by the BCCI, which means he earns 7 crore like Kohli, as the BCCI also enhances this money with match fees he receives after every international game. Adding to his wealth, his net worth is almost $24 million dollars (approximately Rs 200 crore).
Shaheen Shah Afridi
