Win Projections to be updated soon
In the Twenty20 Internationals, the youthful Indian squad enjoyed an incredible year, winning five of the six series that were played in 2023. India defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 in the opening series of the year, and they then triumphed against New Zealand by the same score. But in August, the Men in Blue lost the series by a score of 2-3 against the West Indies in their den.
Star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma didn’t participate in a single Twenty20 International throughout the entire year of 2023; thus, the team management decided to put the younger players to the test. As a result, some of the Indian team’s rising players are among the top earners from T20I in 2023.
Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm seamer, was the highest earner in the format in 2023, despite having played the most matches for his country (19 games). For each Twenty20 international match, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) pays a match fee of INR 3 lakhs. As a result, Arshdeep made 57 lakhs in 2023 from T20Is. Suryakumar Yadav, the most recent captain of India’s Twenty20 international team, holds the second position. He led the team to a 4-1 victory in the series against Australia while Hardik Pandya was away.
With his 16 T20I appearances this year, Suryakumar’s total match fee in 2023 will be about INR 48 lakh. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Axar Patel, and Tilak Varma, who have each played 13 matches and earned INR 39 lakh, occupy the third position. Conversely, after 11 games and a combined earnings of INR 33 lakh, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, and Shubman Gill occupy the fourth position.
India vs. South Africa in the last Twenty20 International Series of 2023
Notably, India participated in 21 Twenty20 Internationals in 2023, winning 14 and losing 6. Under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Men in Blue also took home a historic gold medal from the Asian Games in October 2023. In the meantime, Suryakumar Yadav will continue to captain the team throughout the three-match T20I series against South Africa, which starts on December 10.
