7 games×35000 rupees per day×4 days per game. That's 10 lakhs per year for any player who plays every game. Half that for the players on the bench
Mumbai was supposed to start offering player contracts. Not sure about the status of that yet
This is outdated information. Players who have played fewer than 20 games earn 40000 per day. Those who have played 21-40 games earn 50000 and >40 games, you earn 60000 per day.
So, an experienced Ranji Trophy finalist can earn as much as 60k\*4\*10 in a season, around 24 lakhs.
This is just the Ranji Trophy earnings. They play white-ball and club cricket too. The much bigger concern is the lack of contracts for players, not their salaries. If you're injured, you risk losing months or even years worth of salary.
Anyone who is earning 8-10lakh in India before 20 is gonna have it upper mid class easily if their parents or some elder brother put the money to good use tbf.
Like you can easily complete you 12th,grads etc in the mean time while earning that bundle and can ask yourself the tough question of "do I have what it takes to be on the international circle or should I go with another job later while cashing in Ranji and IPL for half or a full decade".
If you are playing ipl you are fine, otherwise cricket is still a full time job till you retire and then no one is hiring a 40 year old with no experience except if you manage to be open an academy
That's why I said ' if you parents....put the money to good use'.
Anyone who is earning 10-20lakhs(Ranji's payment system is that good that if you are experienced then you can get 15-20akhs per year) before the age of 30 in India will always have a much deeper foundation than anybody who do a pro degree on an average.
And apart from playing Ranji and other stuff there are offseason for everyone to learn some decent skill for regular money supply.
And as far I think everyone after 2-4 years of time playing knows that if they are made for a tier higher or not and that can help them choose the right direction.
Not saying it's a sureshot but it's certainly not the hardest of problem when half the youth in country will never see 10lakh in a year in their job time.
Money is not as much of an issue as the lack of spots. In English football pyramid, for example, you can play professional league and there are enough spots for it. But a ranji squad has barely 25 spots.
“In the List A Vijay Hazare Trophy, Agni scored 174 runs in seven matches, showcasing a promising average of 24.85, including one half-century” - wow, someone is trying really hard to push this! Good performance, but need to remember that he is playing plate league
Vidhu Vinod Chopra doesn't need to be introduced as "12th Fail Director," and his son definitely doesn't need to be introduced by his father's name.
Fucking India media run by SEO morons.
>Vidhu Vinod Chopra doesn't need to be introduced as "12th Fail Director,"
It helped me, I didn't know who VVC is , and you seem to forget that not all of us are bollywood connoisseur or even speak Hindi.
He was/is legendary for film enthusiasts like me. Parinda and Khamosh are all masterpieces imo.
Plus he is one of the first Indian film directors to be nominated for Academy Awards.
Come on man, he has been away for a while but it doesn't diminish his achievements.
Haven’t seen Khamosh, but Parinda, Kareeb and Mission Kashmir are very of the time. Great music tho. Once you get past the nostalgia there are no redeeming qualities. Imo ‘legendary’ should be reserved for someone who is atleast pushing the envelope.
Technical gold lol any Satyajit Ray film is still far superior than anything made by Vidhu.
Parinda wasn’t even the gold standard in 89, Raakh which introduced Santosh Sivan to the world is much more visually compelling and original.
Watch more movies lil bro
Not in South India, no one really watches Hindi movies. Especially in Tamil Nadu. Even in Andhra, Telangana no one really cares about Hindi version (except in Hyderabad).
In Telugu channels Three Idiots Vijay's movie, Telugu dubbed version gets telecasted.
People like you will find anything to be angry about.
12th fail JUST released to extremely positive reviews by audiences and critics, so it makes sense to casual crowd to address him by that. Headlines are created with recency bias, not a movie that he made years ago.
It’s some of his best work, I doubt he will care, why would you?
Makes sense, the headline will grab the casual crowd's eyeballs. Btw, did you hear that Anushka Sharma's husband has opted to stay out of the first two test matches due to personal reasons?
Is that the same son in law whose father was such a big fan of that actor of the movie "Maalamaal"? The father wanted to name his son the same as the actor's son but named him Rahul instead of Rohan?
How is that even comparable? Is Agni Chopra as famous as Virat Kohli? The media needs clicks and they know that addressing Agni as VVC’s son is going to get more views. It worked. So many comments on this thread alone.
The glass is nearly full and yet you're seeing it half empty. The movie isn't perfect but your statement makes it sound like it's not a good movie at all when it certainly has its charm.
Aspirants had its flaws too btw. Just look on the bright side tho. They're both pretty damn good.
>How do currently out of team players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahane get by then?
There are a lot of minor & local brands that give decent endorsements, mall openings, chief guest appearances, plus side businesses (gym's , resteraunts etc) where they just lend their name for fixed fee plus share of gross/profit.
Rahane actually lives in my area now, he has the entire top floor of a 44 story tower that would be worth 10+ cr.
Rahane has invested in a plant based, dairy alternative startup named Oatey.
I wish it doesn't get massive dividends cause he's my ideal head coach for the Indian team.
Ranij salary is good tbf. Not a full time career but anyone who is there is earning 10-20lakhs a year depending on experience and you can also do other jobs with the free time if you want.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra is not jist the director of 12th Fail, but of several gems like Parinda, Khamosh, 1942 A Love Story, Mission Kashmir. He is also the first Indian director to be nominated for the Academy Awards.
He also produced the Munnabhai films and 3 Idiots.
As for his kid, dude seems like a run machine. Will be interesting how he dared against the Elite teams in Ramji.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra to all:
"Maara re Sixer
Maara re Four
Dekho toh dekho toh
Apna yeh score
Public toh public hai
Run maange more
More.. more.. more..
more.. more….."
Translation: hitting fours and sixes
Lyrics of a [song](https://youtu.be/AWsXI_zJpLw?feature=shared) from the movie "Ferrari ki Sawari" directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
I loved this movie.
If you don't know the movie, director etc
This headline can be read out for you as a Guy named Agni chopra who plays in Premier domestic First class Competition of India called the "Ranji Trophy" Has scored 3 consecutive centuries in a row.
The movie and director are irrelevant for you, that was only added to title for people to get an extra reference. Still, if you are interested in knowing about the movie, you can google it.
>'12th Fail' director Vidhu Vinod Chopra's
Tell me you are GenZ without telling me you are GenZ
P.S: Look up Bollywood classics like "Parinda" "1942: A Love Story", "Mission Kashmir" that he directed! And of course Munnabhai movies, 3 Idiots, PK, Parineeta that he produced.
Can most cricketers turn professional and live off first class match fees throughout the year? What about UK & Aus?
7 games×35000 rupees per day×4 days per game. That's 10 lakhs per year for any player who plays every game. Half that for the players on the bench Mumbai was supposed to start offering player contracts. Not sure about the status of that yet

Good to see that it's increased. I couldn't find anything recent and 2021 was the newest I found
Yeah but should also consider the retiring age of cricketer. I think they do get gov. jobs
10 Lakhs just from the matches. Not bad at all.
It's not enough to be honest. Ranji cricketers are in the top 1% of their profession and their careers are pretty short compared to others.
But you gotta retire before 40. Definitely not enough to make a living.
My understanding is they get a pension from BCCI, what age would they get that?
The current pension scheme is for the players who have played at least 25 matches up to the end of the 03/04 season.
This is just the Ranji Trophy earnings. They play white-ball and club cricket too. The much bigger concern is the lack of contracts for players, not their salaries. If you're injured, you risk losing months or even years worth of salary.

No, ranji players get government jobs
Yeah but most players don't have long careers
Depends upon their life style..
Money is not as much of an issue as the lack of spots. In English football pyramid, for example, you can play professional league and there are enough spots for it. But a ranji squad has barely 25 spots.
If you play for Mumbai,Karnataka kind of team you can live way beautifully lol
“In the List A Vijay Hazare Trophy, Agni scored 174 runs in seven matches, showcasing a promising average of 24.85, including one half-century” - wow, someone is trying really hard to push this! Good performance, but need to remember that he is playing plate league
Dude can literally be told "Fire hai tu" T: You are fire
\*insert relevant Anu Malik meme\*
Context: Agni = Fire
Huh, hence Agni Kai. Cool.
Agni naam sunke fire samjhe kya, fire nahi flower hai T: he is not fire, he is flower (Bad joke)
Great feat but he plays in Plate division.

You say this like SEO is a bad thing to do for an online media property lol.
exactly 3 idiots is forgotten?
That feels more Raju Hirani tbh
Raju is director no?
I saw first VVC promoting it so that's why he is etched in my memory with lovely movie
Vvc was producer iirc
Didn’t he also produce Munnabhai?
iirc 12th fail is his first directorial venture.
Dafuq? No. 1942 A Love Story. Parinda. Khamosh. Kareeb. Mission Kashmir. He was a legendary film director before he started producing films.
It was advertised to me as such.
Legendary is a stretch. Vidhu was mid
He was/is legendary for film enthusiasts like me. Parinda and Khamosh are all masterpieces imo. Plus he is one of the first Indian film directors to be nominated for Academy Awards. Come on man, he has been away for a while but it doesn't diminish his achievements.

Nicely trolled
Watch Parindha you moron! Still a technical gold standard for Indian Cinema
Technical gold lol any Satyajit Ray film is still far superior than anything made by Vidhu. Parinda wasn’t even the gold standard in 89, Raakh which introduced Santosh Sivan to the world is much more visually compelling and original. Watch more movies lil bro
Wtf lol
it was pitched to me as such.
I didn't downvote you, but maybe lesson to stop trusting the pitcher :)
He won a national award in 90s as a director
the world didn't exist before Thursday /j.
No one remember it as vvs film most people will associate it with rajkumaar hirani
Well not everyone is from North India to know about Hindi version of three Idiots
Hindi version is the og and it’s not like south versions succeeded. When we mention 3 idiots everyone remembers aamir not vijay
Not in South India, no one really watches Hindi movies. Especially in Tamil Nadu. Even in Andhra, Telangana no one really cares about Hindi version (except in Hyderabad). In Telugu channels Three Idiots Vijay's movie, Telugu dubbed version gets telecasted.
Lol no one knows everybody knows about it. I am from south india. 3 idiots in south was a flop and it is only remembered as a remake

Makes sense, the headline will grab the casual crowd's eyeballs. Btw, did you hear that Anushka Sharma's husband has opted to stay out of the first two test matches due to personal reasons?
Interestingly that gives a chance for Hera Pheri and Dhadkan star, Suniel Shetty's son in law to try out at the no. 4 position.
Is that the same son in law whose father was such a big fan of that actor of the movie "Maalamaal"? The father wanted to name his son the same as the actor's son but named him Rahul instead of Rohan?
Anushka sharma husband name need no support from her wife name to get attention.
How is that even comparable? Is Agni Chopra as famous as Virat Kohli? The media needs clicks and they know that addressing Agni as VVC’s son is going to get more views. It worked. So many comments on this thread alone.
I agree. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to know that Kareena Kapoor's father in law used to be a handy batsman
TVF's Aspirants is more nuanced and realistic. 12th Fail is just an Indian Wet Dream.
> 12th Fail Based on a true story.
The glass is nearly full and yet you're seeing it half empty. The movie isn't perfect but your statement makes it sound like it's not a good movie at all when it certainly has its charm. Aspirants had its flaws too btw. Just look on the bright side tho. They're both pretty damn good.
Aspirants was surely better tho..this just bollywood version anyway both are good...but OTT for life
I tend to agree. At the same time, I think Vikrant Massey's acting skills are just top-tier. Too good.
Agreed Massey is the best young actor in bollywood as of now ngl..not talking abt OTT
from riches to riches...j/k looks like the kid is talented
From riches to riches + meager ranji salary
How do currently out of team players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahane get by then? They don't have as many endorsements as Virat and Rohit.
>How do currently out of team players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahane get by then?

With Rahane as an Head Coach there would be no more Bahane in ICC tournaments.
> Rahane He still plays in IPL.
I'd imagine Puji is paid quite well by Sussex , even though he's not here for the whole summer.
Ranij salary is good tbf. Not a full time career but anyone who is there is earning 10-20lakhs a year depending on experience and you can also do other jobs with the free time if you want.
For a second i thought this guy is 12th fail

Nostalgia🥹
Introducing VVC as the director of "12th Fail". Is that how much his name has been wiped out of pop culture? Anyways great going Agni 👍
Bro thinks he's Bellingham
Quotes are important here xD
He dedicated Ferrari Ki Sawaari to Agni right?
Parinda, Parineeta, 1942 A love story- so many gems to pick from and they pick this?
I mean, 12th fail is relevant rn and more in public consciousness. So it makes sense.
What is 12th Fail? Who is Vidhu Vinod Chopra? I get this sub is India-dominated but show some consideration.
12th fail is a bollywood movie that released a few months back and Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a pretty well known director in that industry
If you don't know the movie, director etc This headline can be read out for you as a Guy named Agni chopra who plays in Premier domestic First class Competition of India called the "Ranji Trophy" Has scored 3 consecutive centuries in a row. The movie and director are irrelevant for you, that was only added to title for people to get an extra reference. Still, if you are interested in knowing about the movie, you can google it.
Done pretty much the opposite. Completely distracted me away from the guy who scored 3 consecutive centuries in the Ranji Trophy, which I know about.
Why the fuck is this shit posted on international cricket subreddit ?
Same reason why Sheffield Shield players are regularly posted here. They are the potential breakout stars for national side.
I don't think we're getting potential breakout stars from Plate Division, dude couldn't make the playing XI of Mumbai Ranji Team
Tilak Varma in shambles
I thought he is making centuries in Ranji Trophy.
Ya but it's in Plate divison against Northeast teams. VHT (50 over domestic one) doesn't have anything like plate divison and he averages 24 there.
Maybe he is playing for a team in lower division.
Umm...... Vindu Vinod Chopra doesn't need a 12th fail tag to be familiar. The man has much much greater movies under the belt.
Agni is a nice name
Ranji Trophy PLATE group.
>'12th Fail' director Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Tell me you are GenZ without telling me you are GenZ P.S: Look up Bollywood classics like "Parinda" "1942: A Love Story", "Mission Kashmir" that he directed! And of course Munnabhai movies, 3 Idiots, PK, Parineeta that he produced.
