Virat Kohli Retirement: Today, 29 June 2024 has been recorded in golden letters in the history of Indian cricket. Team India won the World Cup title by winning the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 played against South Africa at Kensington Oval ground in Barbados by 7 runs. Team India won the World Cup, ending the wait of 17 years since 2007. Under the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma, the team performed very well throughout the World Cup.
Captain Rohit Sharma himself took charge with the bat. And in the final match, when captain Rohit Sharma got out cheaply, then Team India’s veteran Virat Kohli took the responsibility and took the team to a very good total. After the final match, two veterans of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both said goodbye to T20 international cricket. Now people’s question is whether they will be given pension.
Both Virat and Rohit will get pension
BCCI gives pension to Indian cricketers after their retirement. BCCI has some rules and regulations for this. For this, players have to play a fixed number of matches. They are given pension on that basis. BCCI’s pension slab is made on the basis of first class matches and test cricket matches.
If a player has played more than 25 Test matches for India, he is given a pension of Rs 70,000 per month. On the other hand, cricketers who have played less than 25 Test matches are given a pension of Rs 60,000 per month. In this regard, both the legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will get pension.
BCCI’s full pension slab
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the richest board in the world. BCCI not only provides pension to former international cricketers but also to cricketers who have played first class cricket. Under the BCCI pension slab, cricketers who retired from first class cricket before 2003 and have played 1 to 74 matches are eligible.
They are given 30 thousand rupees as pension every month. Players who have played more than 75 first class matches get 45,000 rupees as pension. BCCI also pays salary to women cricketers. Those who have played 5 to 9 tests are given 30,000 rupees.
