Cricket runs in India’s veins, and while today’s stars rake in big bucks, what about the legends of the past? The BCCI, the richest cricket board in the world, has been taking care of its retired players with a solid pension scheme.

In 2022, they gave it a much-needed boost, doubling the payouts for many players. The BCCI’s decision to revise pensions in 2022 was a game-changer. Former first-class players saw their pensions double from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000. Test players now earn between ₹60,000 and ₹70,000, depending on their category.

Let’s take a detailed look at how much some of the top cricketing stars earn from the BCCI after hanging up their boots.

5. Vinod Kambli

Known for his flamboyant batting in the 90s, Vinod Kambli has a special place in Indian cricket history. Though he only played 17 Tests, Kambli remains a fan favourite.

Under the BCCI pension scheme, he earns ₹30,000 per month, as he has played less than 25 Tests. While his pension isn’t as high as some others, it’s still a crucial support for a player who gave fans plenty of memories.
