Kohli gets 15 lakhs for 1 Test and Jaiswal gets 45 lakhs, know why there is so much difference

India's star batsman Virat Kohli was fined 20% of his match fee and one demerit point for colliding with Australia's young batsman Sam Constas, who made his debut on the first day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The ICC has admitted that Kohli made intentional physical contact with Constas, for which this fine was imposed. Kohli has been charged under Article 2.12 of the Code of Conduct. Which states, "Any kind of inappropriate physical contact is prohibited in cricket. If players intentionally or carelessly collide or run or collide with another player or umpire, they will get such punishment.

The incident happened after the 10th over, as Kohli was having the ball in his hand, changed his path, and collided with Constas' shoulder. As a result, Constas' did not like it, and both shared some words for that matter. Constas's opening partner Usman Khawaja and the on-field umpire Michael Gough immediately came forward in an attempt to cool off the situation. This scene makes the former Australian Captain unhappy to see Virat Kohli-Constas collide by the shoulder. However, the ICC took action and Kohli lost 3 lakhs. Now, the question is how much money the last Indian players get for a Test match.

A player playing a Test for Team India gets Rs 15 lakh per match from the Board of Control for Cricket in India. However, this year, Yashasvi Jaiswal will get Rs 45 lakh for a match while Virat Kohli will get only Rs 15 lakh. Actually, BCCI has also made a provision that if any player plays more than 75% of the matches in a year, he gets 45 lakh rupees. This is Jaiswal's 15th test match in Melbourne and India has played 15 test matches this year. His record has been 100% in such a situation, while Kohli played only 10 out of 15 matches, so it is less than 75%. So Kohli will get 15 lakhs as a match fee, while Jaiswal will get 45 lakh rupees.
