Justin Langer, Australian coach (4.51 crores):
Following the tumultuous times for Australia, especially post ball-tampering scandal, Justin Langer, as a coach, has helped the Aussies to win the hearts. Owing to a rebuilding phase, when former coach Darren Lehmann stepped down in the wake-up of a ball-tampering saga, Langer has made himself available to give it back to cricket in another way.
The former Australian star batsman Langer has further set an example of patience despite Aussies drawing flak for their folly during the Cape Town Test in March.
While maintaining the discipline in the team, Langer’s work ethics have paid rich dividends for Australia. The Kangaroos are sitting top of the World Cup points table with 12 points in seven games. Of late, they have played some outstanding cricket following an abysmal show in 2018.
Under Langer, Australia beat India 3-2 before routing Pakistan by 5-0 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He is earning staggering 4.51 crores from Cricket Australia (CA) as a chief coach.
Ravi Shastri, Team India coach (8.11 crores):
Ravi Shastri is earning seven-times more than what Mickey Arthur draws from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The former cricketer started off his career as an all-rounder for India, before gracing the gentleman’s game as a commentator.
In 2015, Shastri grabbed an opportunity to serve as the Director of the team. However, following his impact and sacking of Anil Kumble post-2017 ICC Champions Trophy, Shastri has become a head coach of Team India.
To talk about the testimonials, Shastri has helped India to beat Australia in Australia for the first time in a historic Test series.
Also, they pipped Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in the ODI series.
As of now, India is third on World Cup standings with four win in five matches. They went on to win four games to claim nine points which further includes a washout contest against New Zealand at the Trent Bridge.
Shastri is sitting at the throne amongst most earning cricket coach with an annual salary of 8.11 crores.
