Rishabh Pant, a prominent figure in the Indian cricket team, stands out as a star wicketkeeper-batsman. His value is particularly evident in Test cricket. Pant’s high earnings demonstrate his position among the highest-paid cricketers in India. He benefits from a lucrative contract with the BCCI, large IPL salaries, and other income sources. A unique aspect of his income includes a monthly fee of 399 rupees from 241 people.
Pant is included in the ‘A’ grade of the BCCI central contract, which ensures him an annual income of 5 crore rupees. He receives match fees for all his international games for Team India. The fees are 15 lakh rupees for a Test match, 6 lakh for an ODI, and 3 lakh for a T20. Pant is also a significant earner in the IPL, with his salary reaching 27 crore rupees. In addition, he generates revenue from advertising and endorsements.
Despite his high income, Pant receives 399 rupees each month from a group of individuals. This is achieved through Instagram, where he has 241 subscribers. These subscribers get exclusive content that is not shared with his other 15 million followers.
These subscribers gain access to special photos and videos and can ask Pant questions, which he answers in exclusive video content. The exact income from this arrangement is not publicly disclosed, but Pant is the only cricketer in the Indian team known to utilize this strategy.
Pant is currently recovering from an injury that occurred during the England tour. He has played over 150 international matches. He is expected to return to the field in the upcoming India-West Indies Test series, starting on October 2. During the England tour, he scored 479 runs.
