Team India recently visited Sri Lanka and on this tour, the Indian team won the T20 series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. Whereas in the ODI series, Team India had to face defeat under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma has retired from T20 cricket and in such a situation, Suryakumar Yadav is now seen captaining Team India.

Even though Suryakumar Yadav is captaining Team India, he is being cheated by the BCCI management. The fact is that he is being paid less money than the other captain of Team India, Rohit Sharma.

When Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20 cricket, Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the captain of Team India by the BCCI management.

Under his captaincy, he led the team to a spectacular victory in the series against Sri Lanka. But even after this, his salary has not been increased.

Actually, Suryakumar Yadav is still in category B of BCCI's annual contract list and in this category players are paid Rs 3 crore. Apart from this, for playing matches, he is paid Rs 15 lakh in Tests, Rs 7 lakh in ODIs and Rs 3 lakh in T20s.

Rohit Sharma is getting this much money

Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India in ODI and Test cricket, has been included in the A+ category in the list of annual contracts by the BCCI management.

Under this, he will be given Rs 7 crore annually, apart from this, he will be paid Rs 15 lakh per match in Tests, Rs 7 lakh in ODIs and Rs 3 lakh in T20s.

Rohit Sharma is also leading in IPL

In IPL, both Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav are part of the Mumbai Indians team. While Rohit Sharma is paid Rs 16 crore per season by the Mumbai Indians management for participating in the IPL, on the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav is paid only Rs 8 crore.

In this way, there is a difference of about 8 crores between the salaries of both.
