4. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Probably the biggest shock in the BCCI annual contracts for Indian cricketers was Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s demotion from Grade A to Grade B. The Indian fast bowler even though was in and out of the team due to injuries but he certainly did not deserve a demotion in the annual contracts.
Since Bhuvneshwar has come back to the Indian side this year he has looked a class above all Indian bowlers. He is still India’s premier fast bowler alongside Bumrah in all 3 formats and certainly justified a Grade A-INR 5 crores.
