Rinku Singh: After the Central Contract issued by BCCI came to light, it is being discussed continuously. Especially regarding the exclusion of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer. Even though Ishaan and Shreyas may have suffered some loss due to this, there are some players who have benefited from this contract. Now he will get more salary from BCCI than IPL. We are talking about Team India's young star Rinku Singh.

Rinku Singh gets Rs 55 lakh from KKR

Rinku Singh will also be seen playing for KKR in this year's IPL. But perhaps you may not know that Rinku's first IPL team is not Kolkata Knight Riders. In the year 2017, he was bought by Punjab Kings for ten lakh rupees. However, after this he was released. When he came for auction again for the year 2018, he was bought by KKR for Rs 80 lakh. From then till 2021, he continued playing for IPL at the same salary. After this, his salary increased to Rs 55 lakh in the year 2022. Because after releasing him, the team took him back at a low price. KKR has retained him, so this year also he will be seen playing for the same team at the same price.

Rinku's salary is very less based on performance

This salary of Rinku Singh i.e. Rs 55 lakh was when he had not become such an explosive batsman and was not even tagged as a finisher. He had shown his real feat in the IPL of 2023. But KKR did not release him for this year. Rinku Singh's salary of Rs 55 lakh is less than that of many players. It would not be wrong to say that many lesser players are getting more salary than him. But now BCCI has come forward and held the hand of Rinku Singh.

Will get one crore rupees from BCCI's central contract

In the list of its new contracts released by BCCI, he has been given a place in Grade C. There are many other players along with him in this. Although BCCI has not made it clear how much money will be given to Grade C players, but till now the players of this grade have been given Rs 1 crore. That means, even if there is no change in this, his BCCI salary will be more than the IPL price. This is surprising in itself, but it is also true.
