Star India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja has made a big jump to the top category in the latest BCCI contracts list announced on Sunday night. While earlier there were three players in the top category (A+, Rs 7 crore), now there are four. India captain Rohit Sharma, former skipper Virat Kohli and star pacer Jasprit Bumrah have retained their place in the top category announced by the Indian cricket board. Jadeja was a vital cog in India's Border-Gavaskar Trophy win over Australia earlier this month. He picked 22 wickets during the four-match series, and also played a handy role with the bat. According to a BCCI statement, the annual contract is dated from October 2022 to September 2023.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami and Axar Patel will earn Rs 5 crore annually, after having been placed in the A category.
In the B category, Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Siraj, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill will earn Rs 3 crore annually.
A total of 11 players, including Umesh Yadav, Shikhar Dhawan, Shardul Thakur, have been placed in the C category. They will be paid Rs 1 crore by the board.
Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, KS Bharat and pacer Arshdeep Singh are the newest entrants in the latest central contracts announced by the BCCI. They have all been placed in the C category.
