Indian cricketers and their salaries 2017

11. Mohammed Shami- 1 Crore

Having struggled a lot with injuries but Mohammed Shami is fit and raring to have a go at the opposition batsmen. He has played 25 Test matches so far and has picked up 86 wickets. In ODIs, Shami has scalped 91 wickets from 50 games. He still bowls at a good pace and is a key member of the Indian side when we talk about the upcoming away tours.

12. Ishant Sharma- 1 Crore

Many would say that Ishant Sharma bagging a Grade B contract is debatable but the lanky Indian pacer has always stood out whenever India needed someone to lead the attack with pace and aggression. Sharma played a very important role in India’s victory over a strong Australian side earlier this year and he has been rewarded for the same. He will be a crucial member of the squad that travels overseas as his experience will prove vital for the No.1 Test team to defend their position overseas.

13. Umesh Yadav- 1 Crore

He is the most improved Indian fast bowler and has the ability to make inroads in the opposition line-up. Yadav’s raw pace is exactly what India requires when competing with the strong teams across all the formats, and he has done well over the years. He will be happy to fetch a good contract which will only help him do better in the coming games.
