Indian cricketers and their salaries 2017

Grade B

8. Rohit Sharma- 1 Crore

The dashing Indian opener is a force to reckon with in limited overs cricket. Rohit Sharma is the Indian vice-captain in both the formats and is currently one of most explosive openers in coloured clothing. The only cricketer with 2 double hundreds in ODIs, Sharma holds an average of close to 70 in ODIs this year. He has scored 902 runs from 15 matches, crossing the three-figure mark on 4 occasions. He is one of the top players in the Grade B list of contracts.

9. KL Rahul- 1 Crore

One of the most promising youngsters in the Indian side, Lokesh Rahul holds the record of scoring seven consecutive fifties in Test matches. He achieved the feat against Sri Lanka during the Test series in the island nation. The stylish right-handed batsman has the backing of the team management, and it won’t be a surprise to see him move up the ranks in the time to come.

10. Bhuvneshwar Kumar- 1 Crore

Medium-pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the five pace bowlers in the Grade B contract list of players. Kumar is a regular in the Indian limited-overs side and often cricket experts swear by his swing. He has started to do well with the bat too and has contributed in crucial match situations. The competition in the pace pack is heating up but Kumar doesn’t need to worry about his place in the team as well as in the contract list of cricketers.
