None of the 19 cricketers competing for the top prize of INR 2 crore are Indian. Three people from Australia, eight from England, three from New Zealand, two from South Africa, and two from the West Indies are on the list. Only foreign cricketers make up the INR 1.5 crore slab as well: five Australians, one Bangladeshi, four Englishmen, and one West Indian.
Mayank Agarwal and Manish Pandey, the most expensive cricketers in India, have set a one-crore price tag for themselves. They are also the only Indians with a population over 50 lakhs. In reality, just 21 more properties above INR 20 lakh are above the two previously listed ones; these include 17 at INR 50 lakh, one at 40 lakhs, and three at 30 lakhs.
