Top 10 highest paid cricket coaches at the moment

1. Ravi Shastri (India) – $1,350,000 (INR 9.7 Crore)

If not the richest, BCCI is among one of the richest cricket boards in the world. Hence, it’s no surprise that India’s coach Ravi Shastri gets a massive salary for his role as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. The former India all-rounder gets about 1.35 million dollars annually.

Shastri has played multiple roles in Indian cricket. After his successful stint as a player, he turned to the commentary box and became a known voice across the world. However, he has often been India’s crisis man. After India’s shock exit from the World Cup in 2007, he took over as the coach for a brief period.

In 2014, he was appointed as the team director after India’s disastrous Test series in England. He served at that position for a couple of years and was terminated after India’s exit in the semi-final of the World T20 in 2016. A year later, Shastri was appointed as the head coach. India did well but stumbled in a couple of overseas Test series’ and in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup. However, the 57-year-old was reappointed for a couple more years in August 2019.
