Soon after, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the rewards for the team that had won an unprecedented fourth U-19 title. There were cash awards of two million rupees ($311,000) for each of the support staff. For the players who had gone through the tournament unbeaten, there were three million rupees each. And for Dravid? Five million.


that's a life changer

two million rupees ($311,000)


Doesn't add up.. $311000 ~ 2 crore rupees or 20 million rupees

In reply to Khaga

you mean for BCCI?

well yea they have a reserve

giving each u19 that sum of money is ridiculously good for them...they can focus on cricket entirely from here on...some top up with IPL

Even for the team..What's 5 million rupees for Rahul?
50 million is sizable..even his coaching contract is worth crores I believe..
BCCI must be making the guys who didn't make it in IPL auction,feel good with this bonus..

In reply to Khaga

i think the kids who didn't get IPL deals deserve the bonus thoroughly..imagine playing with your friends equally well and they return home millionaires while you have nothing...good on bcci

Rahul's contract is in excess of 1m usd i read somewhere...

Rahul is smart..he is making as much as Shastri without having to deal with all those egos..

 
doosra 2018-02-04 19:13:17 

In reply to Khaga

quietly doing his thing...i believe his IPL gig is separate from his BCCI's as well

so yea he probably makes as much without any notice...and he's cool enough to keep it low ...

BCCI is flush with cash..VIvo IPL title sponsorship and Oppo sponsorship are worth a lotttt..

IPL broadcast rights is a beast..

I am sure even the IPL franchises are making truck loads of money now that IPL is into it's second decade..

 
doosra 2018-02-04 19:20:45 

In reply to Khaga

i think the franchises are definitely in the plus now...

i'd imagine the bcci balance sheet would be many 100mills

those 2 rights are crazy

Except for the suspension of 2 franchises which were filled in, franchise ownership hasn't changed hands in 10 years..even Mallya's troubles haven't deterred RCB..

 
doosra 2018-02-04 19:33:17 

In reply to Khaga

just today i thought about RCB and how they managed to keep it together despite Mallya's troubles

the system is fairly settled

Pune and Gujarat are good stand ins ...guess BCCI do not want to dilute quality with too many teams

I can tell you there are many tier-2 cities waiting for a chance..

You have to remember that the global economy was in deep recession in the inaugural year of IPL..they withstood it..

 
doosra 2018-02-04 19:38:39 

In reply to Khaga

don't think the BCCI will just let more teams in the ipl...there's enough mileage for sponsors and tv from what's there now

the india market alone is huge enough to keep this going...they actually came right at the beginning of the recession which in itself was a gamble

Masterstroke by the much maligned Lalit Modi.

Dravid deserves the pay

he didnt just show up to the WC

He has been working with the squad for a while

In reply to Khaga & Doosra

Dravid is a Maestro.

 
Khaga 2018-02-04 23:02:26 

In reply to anandgb

The talent at disposal is no less..didn't the last bunch come up short under Dravid?

 
goofballs 2018-02-04 23:53:40 

Dravid thieve the writer's gyal!
He has beef with Dravid.

1000000 Indian Rupee equals
15,580.000 US Dollar

So 2 million=?

3 million=46,640 which makes more sense. 46 grand.

In reply to doosra

Dravid had to give up his IPL job for the India one, if I remember correctly.

 
doosra 2018-02-05 13:05:05 

Modi still got some "power"
