Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan in top-section of BCCI contracts; MS Dhoni downgraded, Shami on hold
Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Jasprit Bumrah are among five players in the recently presented A+ class of BCCI's most recent contracts. MS Dhoni and R Ashwin are in Group A while Mohammed Shami's agreement has been withheld for the present.
Previous Indian cricket group commander Mahendra Singh Dhoni and senior off-spinner R Ashwin got themselves consigned from the best-paid section with the BCCI today presenting an A+ classification in the focal contracts for which just five players, including captain Virat Kohli, were picked. Mohammed Shami, against whom there are assertions of aggressive behavior at home and betrayal from his better half, isn't among the contracted players.
The batting troika of Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shikhar Dhawan alongside pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah were chosen for the A+ class, which will guarantee them yearly contracts worth Rs seven crore each.
Dhoni and Ashwin have been sectioned in the A class alongside Ravindra Jadeja, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Wridhhiman Saha. These seven players would be qualified for an agreement of Rs five crore.
The B class will highlight KL Rahul, Umesh Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Hardik Pandya, Ishant Sharma and Dinesh Karthik.
In Grade C will be Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Karun Nair, Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel and Jayant Yadav.\

The Grade B category contracts are worth Rs three crore, while those in Grade C are of Rs one crore.The annual contracts are for the period from October 2017 to September 2018.
“The Committee of Administrators (CoA) was of the view that the performance and position of Indian Cricket needs to be recognized with the fee structure comparable to the best in the world,” the BCCI said in a statement.
Among the ladies, World Cup stars Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana have been kept in the best section, under which the yearly contract is worth Rs 50 lakh.
The CoA recognizes that the actual income of the BCCI fluctuates on an annual basis depending on the number of home matches Team India (Senior Men) plays.
Hence, to insulate the player compensation, the CoA has sanctioned the creation of a ‘Players Revenue/Compensation Equalisation Fund’ (PR/CEF) to which the BCCI will contribute approximately Rs 125 crore per annum from its surplus,” the BCCI statement read.
