3. Meg Lanning, Australia – 95.32 lakhs
Only a champion player can lead the famed Australian women’s cricket team and that’s exactly what Meg Lanning is. The batting superstar of the Kangaroos team is considered one of the best players to have represented the nation. She announced her arrival by stroking a glittering ton only at the age of 18, the youngest player from the country to achieve the feat. Moving forward her 45 ball century against New Zealand gave the cricketing world glimpses of her proficiency.
Fondly known as the Megastar of Australian cricket, Lanning has already some batting records to her name. She is the only female player to score more than 10 centuries in ODI format. Her average of 54 in ODIs and 34 in T20Is gives the idea of her dominance in world cricket. A year ago she led the team to its record 4th T20 title and everybody was amazed by her cricketing knowledge.
Due to her rich vein of form coupled with the team’s success she was provided with a central contract at the start of this year. Meg Lanning pockets a sum of $0.13m per annum which is around INR 95.32 lakhs.
