HIGHLIGHTS
- Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah will earn the most according to latest BCCI central contracts list
- Shikhar Dhawan has fallen to the Grade A category
- Rishabh Pant has been put in Grade A in the first time he makes it to the list
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are the only ones to have made it to the top most category of the latest central contracts list from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) while Rishabh Pant has been rewarded with Grade A contract in the first time he has made it to the list.
Shikhar Dhawan, who has not had the best of time lately and is no longer a part of the Test set-up has been demoted to Grade A, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has also fallen off the radar as an all-format player.
Apart from Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar and Pant, Grade A consists of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav.
Pant has been rewarded for his good show in Test cricket and after being ignored last year, he had made a direct entry into Grade A. Pant scored Test hundreds in England and Australia and is being groomed as the one to take the mantle from Dhoni once he retires from limited overs cricket.
Cheteshwar Pujara, despite his stupendous show in Australia, remained in A category since he is only a one-format player.
The A plus category players get a yearly retainer fee of Rs 7 crore, while A category players get Rs 5 crore. Grade B earn Rs 3 crore while Grade C get Rs 1 crore.
Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul continue to remain in B category are accompanied by Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
