Highest paid player from each of the top 5 countries

#3 Virat Kohli, India - $1 million

Kohli is the richest cricketer when endorsements are taken into account

The BCCI's top-grade contract is worth $311,745. However, the total pay a player gets is a combination of his contract money and a percentage of the BCCI's gross revenue, calculated on the number of matches he has played in one calendar year.

Indian captain Virat Kohli, who has a Grade A contract, earned his retainer plus his share from the 13% gross revenue, taking it to a total of $1 million from international matches this year. Although Kohli is ranked 3rd on this list, his endorsements and IPL contract make him the richest cricketer.
