Indian cricketers and their salaries 2021-22
BCCI has reportedly finalised the salaries of the cricketers for the period of October 2021 to September 2022.
16. Shikhar Dhawan – INR 1 crore
Shikhar Dhawan has now experienced one of the biggest drops down from grade (A) to grade (C). He will now earn only INR 1 crore per annum. Dhawan was used only in the limited-overs format but now he is seen by the selectors as just an ODI player.
The IPL has shown many young Indian talents who could be more effective in the T20 format and hence Dhawan is not considered for the shortest format anymore. However, his average in the ODIs and his experience in the format are much needed for the team. Hence, as the veteran opener will most probably play only in the ODIs hereafter and hence, has been demoted.
17. Umesh Yadav – INR 1 crore
The speedster Umesh Yadav has been considered only for the Test squad. He has not been seen in his best rhythm and has taken only 10 wickets in eight innings since 2021. His inconsistency in picking wickets has made him a back option and hence he is a part of grade (C) contract list.
