This Player Earned More Match Fees Than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma In The Year 2023

If the defeat in the World Cup 2023 final is removed, this year was perfect for the Indian men’s cricket team. The team played 65 matches, including Test, ODI and T20, in which they won 45 and lost 16. 2 matches were drawn during this period, and the same number of matches could not get results. This year, the World Cup 2023 was also organized in India, due to which the priority of the players was 50 over cricket.

However, due to the World Test Championship, there was also an emphasis on Test cricket. Before the end of 2023, when we assessed the players’ match fees, we found that one player earned more than Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma this year. Yes, this player is none other than young opening batsman Shubman Gill. In terms of match fees in 2023, 6 players have earned more than Rs 2 crore, in which Gill’s name is at the top.

The match fees of Indian players are fixed. Every player playing a Test match gets a match fee of Rs 15 lakh, while the fees for ODI and T20 are Rs 6 and 3 lakh, respectively.

Before the Boxing Day Test against South Africa, the player who played the most matches for India this year was Shubman Gill. Gill has played 47 matches so far in the year 2023, in which he scored 2126 runs with an excellent average of 48.31, out of which 1584 runs came from his bat in the ODI format. Gill earned the maximum amount of Rs 2 crore 88 lakh as a match fee in these 47 matches. By playing the last test match against South Africa, he can take his earnings beyond Rs 3 crore.

If we talk about Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma, these players played 7 Tests and 27 ODIs. Both of the players did not play any T20 matches this year. Because of this, the earnings of both of them in terms of match fees was Rs 2 crore 67 lakh.
