Even after retirement, Indian cricketers are paying such huge taxes, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are also named
Cricket is no less than a religion in India. When 11 players of the Indian cricket team are on the field, the whole country watches the match as one and hopes for Team India’s victory. This is the reason why Indian cricketers also earn a lot. Not only by playing cricket, but they also earn a lot from advertisements and big deals. The player’s earnings do not decrease much even after retirement. Meanwhile, the income tax figures for the year 2023-24 have come out, which has surprised everyone. Especially Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly are earning tremendously even after retirement. However, superstar Virat Kohli is sitting on the number one chair here too.
Virat Kohli paid the highest income tax
Talking about the income tax of Indian cricketers, this year Virat Kohli has paid the highest tax. A list has been released by Fortune India, in which it has been told that Virat Kohli has paid income tax of about 66 crores this time. Virat Kohli is not in India right now. After the series against Sri Lanka, he went to London with his family, he is there. He will return before the series between India and Bangladesh starts and after that he will also be seen on the field.
MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar’s names are also in the top list
After Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni is second in this case. He retired from international cricket in the year 2020, but he is still playing for his team Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. The third name in this list is Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket. The report says that Sachin has paid a tax of about Rs 28 crore. The big thing is that the name of former Team India captain Sourav Ganguly also comes in this list. He has also been the President of BCCI and is currently associated with Delhi Capitals in IPL. Sourav Ganguly has deposited a tax of about Rs 23 crore. Among the current cricketers, the second name after Virat Kohli is Hardik Pandya. He has paid Rs 23 crore. Hardik Pandya is not a player of Virat Kohli’s stature, but he is definitely seen matching the star players in depositing tax.
Crores of rupees are earned through advertisements and big deals
Actually, the earnings of the big players of India do not decrease even after retirement. After retirement from international cricket, the players are associated with IPL in some capacity or the other. Along with this, they also earn a lot from advertisements. Along with this, they also get a huge amount from broad deals. The bigger the player, the bigger is the deal. It is possible that in the coming time, some more such players will be seen in this list, who are currently playing cricket for India.
