After his reappointment as Team India’s head coach, Ravi Shastri is expected to get a massive salary hike in his new contract, according to a report.
Shastri is set to get a 20% hike which will take his annual salary close to Rs 9.5-10 crore, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror. In his previous contract, he had been drawing about Rs 8 crore.
Not just him, the support staff is also expected to get a hike. While bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar are set to earn around Rs. 3.5 crores, batting coach Vikram Rathour - who has replaced the only change in the team Sanjay Bangar - will earn close to Rs. 2.5-3 crore.
All these new contracts would be into effect from September 1.
Following his reappointment, Shastri had outlined his ambitions and goals. “The reason why I came in here is the belief I had in this team, the belief that they could leave a legacy which very few teams have left behind which other teams going down will try and emulate,” Shastri told bcci.tv after his appointment.
“Next two years is to see the smooth transition happening. You will get a lot of youngsters coming -- in both white-ball setup and Tests. You need to identify another three-four bowlers to add to the pool by the end of our tenure. My endeavour by the end of this tenure would be to leave the team in a happier space so that they can set a legacy in the time to come,” he further added.
“You’ve got to learn from your mistakes, nobody is perfect. When you strive for excellence and strive to raise the bar then you have to pay attention to detail,” he said.
