3. Australia: Aaron Finch – INR 4.87 crore, Tim Paine – 4.87 crore
Australia have been giants of world cricket for the last few decades and the trophies in their cabinet speak it all. The Aussies have won as many as five World Cups alongside two Champions Trophy titles. Although the Men in Yellow have endured a tough time lately, they are still one of the strongest national teams going around.
As of now, Aaron Finch leads Australia in white-ball cricket while Tim Paine handles the reins in the longest format of the game. The duo has also done a decent job at the helm in their respective formats. While Finch led Australia to the 2019 World Cup semi-finals, the Tim Pained-led side retained the Ashes on England soil.
Paine and Finch also receive a hefty sum of money, with Cricket Australia being one of the richest boards in the world. As per the latest contracts, both the Aussie captain get approximately $1 million as yearly salary by Cricket Australia.
