Jasprit Bumrah suffered a loss of Rs 2 crore because of BCCI. In fact, in February, the board issued the annual contract (from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) for the senior men’s and women’s players of Team India, in which it was decided to abolish the A+ grade. In the latest contract, only 3 players (Bumrah, Jadeja and Shubman Gill) have been kept in Grade A, which is now the highest grade.
Jasprit Bumrah was in A+ category in the previous contract, for which he got Rs 7 crore annually. Let us tell you that A+ category players get Rs 7 crore annually, A category players get Rs 5 crore, B category players get Rs 3 crore and C category players get Rs 1 crore. However, BCCI has not yet clarified whether the salary will remain the same in the latest contract or there will be a change in it.
If the salary remains the same then Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a loss of Rs 2 crore, because his salary in the previous contract was Rs 7 crore. Now A+ category has been removed and Bumrah has come in Category A, so his salary has become Rs 5 crore.
The demotion of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja is understandable, because they no longer play in all three formats for Team India. But Jasprit Bumrah is playing in all three formats, he is among the most dangerous bowlers in the world. So the question is what has gone wrong with Bumrah. According to the report of Times of India, BCCI is considering how to compensate for the loss of Bumrah.
A BCCI source said, ‘BCCI is considering how to compensate for the loss of Jasprit Bumrah. It is true that it would be wrong to increase his salary from Rs 7 crore to Rs 5 crore. Some other players have also gone down a grade despite performing well. The evaluation of the contract may be changed. According to the report, the contract of Akshar Patel, who has now been kept in C category, can also be considered.
