Rishabh Pant, a key member of the Indian cricket team, is celebrated for his skills as a wicketkeeper-batsman. He is a pivotal player, particularly in Test cricket. Pant’s value is reflected in his financial success, making him one of India’s highest-earning cricketers. His income streams include a significant contract with the BCCI, substantial IPL salaries, and other financial ventures. Besides these, Pant also earns 399 rupees monthly from a specific group of individuals.
Under the BCCI’s central contract, Pant is classified in the ‘A’ grade, receiving 5 crore rupees annually. He also receives match fees for every international game he plays for India. The match fees are 15 lakh rupees for a Test match, 6 lakh for an ODI, and 3 lakh for a T20. In addition to this, Pant gains substantial earnings from the IPL annually, with his salary reaching 27 crore rupees. His income is further boosted by advertisements and endorsements.
Pant is one of the highest-paid cricketers in India, yet he also earns 399 rupees monthly from a group of 241 subscribers on Instagram. These subscribers gain access to exclusive content that is not shared with his other 15 million followers.
Pant shares special photos and videos with his subscribers, and they can also ask him questions, which he answers in exclusive videos. While the exact income generated from this arrangement is not publicly known, Pant stands out as the only cricketer in the Indian team to have implemented this strategy.
On the cricket front, Pant is currently sidelined due to an injury he sustained during the England tour. He is expected to return to action for the upcoming India-West Indies Test series scheduled to begin on October 2. He has played over 150 international matches for Team India and scored 479 runs on the England tour.
