The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally cleared all of their pending dues of the Indian coaches Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid. The former is the head coach of the national squad which is captained by Virat Kohli while Dravid is handling junior guys of India A and U19 teams.
Both of them are churning out results for India ever since they have taken over the position and they are receiving a humongous amount from the board which they deserve as well. Shastri took over the role of the head coach for the Indian cricket team after the controversial resignation of Anil Kumble last year after the Champions Trophy. His partnership with the skipper Kohli is as smooth as it can be and it seems now as the team has hardly put a wrong step in the last few months.

Recently, BCCI disclosed the salaries of both the head coaches on their official website while clearing their pending dues. Ravi Shastri has been paid a whopping amount of INR 1.89 Crore as professional fees for the period from April 18 to July 17. According to this payment, the monthly salary of the former Indian cricketer is computed up to a massive INR 63 lakh which makes him one of the highest paid coaches.

On the other hand, Rahul has received an amount of INR 40.5 Lakhs for the month of March this year. No doubt that both of them earn a huge amount of money and Dravid was given a 100% hike when his contract as the coach of the junior teams was extended last year. Both of them deserves all the accolades coming their way as the Indian team is coming out with flying in most of the series in recent times with some magnificent performances.
