#04. South Africa: Dean Elgar – INR 3.2 crore, Temba Bavuma – INR 2.5 crore
South Africa used to dominate every cricketing giant not so long ago. The likes of Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Morne Morkel threatened the opposition like never before, however, the success didn’t last long after these cricketers bid adieu to international cricket.
South Africa went through a pale patch and changed the captains. Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock were handed over the captaincy however a year later the board decided to once again change the roles.
Later, Temba Bavuma was announced the skipper of the limited-overs side while Dean Elger was announced as the test skipper. As part of their central contracts, Temba Bavuma fetches $350,000 while Dean Elgar gets $450,000.
