5 India cricketers who are being paid less than they deserve
These players have excelled in the last 12 months and deserve an upgrade in the contract.
4. Ravindra Jadeja
There are just three players in the ‘Grade A+’ category. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah earn INR 7 crores per annum. If there has to be another player who surely deserves a place in this category, it has to be Ravindra Jadeja.
After the Champions Trophy 2017, he was axed from the white-ball formats of the game. Ever since then, he has worked extremely hard on his game. Jadeja has improved his batting leaps and bounds. In about a year’s time, he made a comeback into the ODI team and later the T20I team as well.
He has always been an integral part of the Test set-up of Team India anyway. Thus, he fits into the requirement that a player has to play all the three formats to be put into the ‘Grade A+’ category. Hence, the southpaw should be placed in the higher category in the upcoming central contracts.
