BCCI has announced the central contract of the men's cricket team. 34 players have been given place in the contract. Ravindra Jadeja has also been given a place along with Rohit Sharma, Virat and Jasprit Bumrah in the Grade A Plus category. BCCI will provide a salary of Rs 7 crore per year to these four players.

Meanwhile, you will be surprised to know that there is also a player of Team India who is not a part of the BCCI's central contract list, but despite this, his annual income is more than the players included in the A Plus category.

Even after the announcement of BCCI, this player will earn more money than Rohit and Kohli

Venkatesh Iyer, who made his T20 debut for India in 2021, was once seen as a replacement for Hardik Pandya. But his performance in the team could not impress anyone and after playing 9 T20 matches, this player was shown the way out of the team. In IPL 2025, KKR decided to release Iyer. But in the mega option, this player was bought for a huge amount of 23.75 crores. In such a situation, despite not getting a place in the BCCI central contract list, Venkatesh's annual income is more than Rohit and Virat.

Rohit Sharma will earn only this much in the whole year

Captain Rohit Sharma, who won the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy for the team, has been placed in the A Plus category in the BCCI's central contract list. According to this, Rohit will get Rs 7 crore as salary in a year. Mumbai retained Rohit for Rs 16.30 crore in the IPL. Even together, the captain of the team will earn only Rs 23.30 crore. Talking about T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, BCCI has given Surya a B category. Surya will get Rs 3 crore a year Mumbai Indians retained the player for Rs 16.35 crore. That is, Surya will earn Rs 19.35 crore this year.

Tasteless dishes of a high shop

This saying will not prove to be wrong at all for Venkatesh Iyer, who became a part of Kolkata Knight Riders with a huge amount of 23.75 crores. The left-handed batsman has proved to be a complete flop in IPL 2025 so far. Even in the match against Gujarat, Venkatesh Iyer was seen running in the field to score every run. But the player seems to be a complete flop in the IPL. So far he has scored only 135 runs in 8 matches at an average of 22.50.
