Chandika Hathurusingha, Sri Lankan (2.08 crore):
Sri Lanka is sixth on World Cup rankings as they didn’t have had much luck at the World Cup. Their two crucial games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended up without any result due to inclement weather.
However, with a coach like Chandika Hathurusingha, the Lions will be heaving a sigh of relief. Known for his temperament, Hathurusingha had helped Bangladesh when they were in dire straits. Now, as he is with his national team, he is keen to leave an impact while being in the lead role.
In 2009, he had served as an assistant when Trevor Bayliss was at the helm of affairs for the Islanders.
On an annual basis, Sri Lanka shells out whopping 2.08 crore for Hathurusingha.
