Ravi Shastri Reveals Insane Amount Indian Cricketers Earn: 'Upwards Of Rs...'
Former India head coach's revelation left former England cricketers including Alastair Cook and Michael Vaughan stunned.
How much do top Indian cricketers earn?
The amount, if Ravi Shastri is to be believed, is jawdropping. And it certainly left former England cricketers like Michael Vaughan and David Lloyd stunned.
While appearing in the podcast Stick To Cricket that also featured Alastair Cook and Phil Tufnell, Shastri was quizzed by former England captain Vaughan about the amount top India cricketers like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and the legendary Sachin Tendulkar typically earn.
'They earn a lot," Shastri said. 'They earn a lot through endorsements, for sure" before adding 'Upwards of Rs 100 crores. Which I would say is 10 million pounds."
His revelation did shock Lloyd who yelled 'Wow!" in disbelief.
'I would say… you just calculate 100 rupees is a pound. So you work backwards and you calculate upwards of that because someone like MS Dhoni or a Virat Kohli or a Sachin Tendulkar at his pomp, they would do over 15, 20 ads," Shastri continued.
'It's per day. There's no time. They could easily do more because of the amount of cricket being played. So, you know, they'll do an ad for a year and give a day – just one day to shoot. That's all you'll get. And then you play it out as many times as you want," he added.
