#2. Shubman Gill’s salary and net worth

Shubman Gill was one of the key players for India at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. However, the cricketer couldn’t make it to India’s opening match against Australia as he suffered from dengue right before the tournament. Shubman made it to the starting XI in India’s critical match against Pakistan, and fans were relieved that the cricketer was fully fit for the tournament.

The reason why fans were rooting for Shubman Gill’s availability in India’s World Cup campaign is because he is one of the best batsmen in the world. One can understand his quality by considering that he earns Rs. 3 crores annually for playing for India. The cricketer has earned Rs. 23 crores from IPL and does a lot of brand work, contributing to his whooping net worth. For the unversed, Shubman Gill’s net worth is estimated to be around Rs. 32 crores.

#3. Suryakumar Yadav’s salary and net worth

It was back in 2022 when Suryakumar Yadav made history by becoming the first Indian cricketer to surpass the 1,000 runs mark in the T20 international format. The remarkable achievement was enough to make him one of India’s most important players while going into the World Cup campaign. Talking about Suryakumar's earnings, the ace cricketer’s annual BCCI contract makes him earn Rs. 3 crores per year.

If we look at his salary, which he gets to represent Mumbai Indians in the IPL, Suryakumar earns Rs. 8 crores every season. Not only this, but Suryakumar Yadav also works with various brands, such as Crossbeats, JioCinema, TIGC, Healthyr-U, Seagram's Royal Stag, Reebok India, and many more, which contributes to his whopping net worth of Rs. 45 crores.

#4. Shardul Thakur’s salary and net worth

India's exceptional bowling lineup is filled with so many exceptional bowlers, which is the reason why a talent like Shardul Thakur often goes unnoticed or unappreciated. If Shardul would’ve been in any other team, he would’ve been the star of that team’s bowling lineup. However, despite such intense competition in India’s bowling lineup, he has still managed to get the tag of one of India’s most underrated bowlers. His annual BCCI contract is worth Rs. 1 crore.

The ace cricketer, Shardul Thakur used to play for Chennai Super Kings from 2018 to 2021 and later joined Delhi Capitals in 2022. However, his high-profile move came in 2023 when the talented bowler donned the colours of Kolkata Knight Riders for a whooping contract of Rs. 10.75 crore. Apart from playing cricket, Shardul is also indulged in some business, which contributes to his Rs. 25 crore net worth.
