The Australian board got into trouble by paying 35 thousand rupees to 2 players of Team India, it was ridiculed a lot.
Team India is once again on a tour of Australia. On this tour, 5 years ago, the Australian Cricket Board was ridiculed due to two Indian players. That matter is related to 35 thousand rupees. On the 2019 tour, India won the bilateral ODI series for the first time in Australia. India won that 3-match series 2-1. But, after winning that series, Team India did not get any cash award.
Dhoni and Chahal were given 500 US dollars each.
Despite earnings, the Australian Cricket Board gave only 500 US dollars each to two Indian players as a reward. These two players were Yuzvendra Chahal and MS Dhoni. Chahal got 500 dollars because he became the player of the match. Dhoni was also given 500 dollars as he was the player of the series. Team India got only one trophy for winning the series.
Gavaskar had sharply criticized.
In 2019, the value of 500 US dollars given to Dhoni and Chahal was only 35000 rupees in Indian rupees. In simple words, Cricket Australia gave 35 thousand rupees each to Dhoni and Chahal. Sunil Gavaskar had then criticized this act of Cricket Australia. He said that what does 500 US dollars do? This is shameful. Along with Australia, Team India also had a right to the earnings from the series. Then why did Team India not get cash awards? Gavaskar further gave the example of Wimbledon and said that see how much money the players get there.
On the current tour of Australia, Team India has to play a series of 5 Test matches. The first match of the 5-match Test series being held for the first time since 1992 is in Perth. After that matches will be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. The Indian team will try to make this tour memorable by winning this series. Also, by doing so, they will be able to defend the BGT title as well.
