A+ Category:Grade A+ : @imVkohli, @ImRo45, @Jaspritbumrah93 — BCCI (@BCCI) April 15, 2021 There exist three positions in the topmost level or the A+ Category and the selected candidates for them are all no-brainers. Skipper Virat Kohli is accompanied by his vice-captain Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. The three megastars will earn a cheque of Rs. 7 cr. during the next year. A Category:Grade A: @ashwinravi99, @imjadeja, @cheteshwar1, @ajinkyarahane88, @SDhawan25, @klrahul11, @MdShami11, @ImIshant, @RishabhPant17, @hardikpandya7 — BCCI (@BCCI) April 15, 2021 Belonging to the second highest level, the players in the A Category go on to earn an annual package worth Rs. 5 cr. This category consists of the major lot of the national cricket team and includes Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya. Two years ago, Shikhar Dhawan was downgraded from the A+ to A Category while Pant was promoted to this category after his phenomenal performance during the 2018-19 Border Gavaskar Trophy back in Australia. B Category:Grade B: @Wriddhipops, @y_umesh, @BhuviOfficial, @imShard, @mayankcricket — BCCI (@BCCI) April 15, 2021 Wriddhiman Saha, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur and Mayank Agarwal make it into the third category and stand to make Rs. 3 crore each. C Category:Grade C: @imkuldeep18, @navdeepsaini96, @deepak_chahar9, @RealShubmanGill, @Hanumavihari, @akshar2026, @ShreyasIyer15, @Sundarwashi5, @yuzi_chahal, @mdsirajofficial — BCCI (@BCCI) April 15, 2021 The bottom level of the pay scale inclues Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Deepak Chahar, Shubman Gill, Hanuma Vihari, Axar Patel, Shreyas Uyer, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mohammed Siraj. We have to mention the fact that these are the annual salaries that these cricketers stand to earn just from BCCI. Players like Virat Kohli also earn a crazy amount of money from the deals they sign with their numerous sponsors, some of which go beyond their annual salaries with the board. Case in point: Virat Kohli's 8-year Rs 100 Cr. deal with the sportswear giant Puma that pays the athlete an outrageous Rs. 12.5 Cr. every year.
