5) Virender Sehwag – Total income 6.9$ Millions
The Swash bucking opener from Najafgarh comes in at number 5 in the list. Sehwag, credited with revolutionizing the role of an opener in Test and ODIs alike, maybe has seen the last of International cricket. But that doesn’t stop this happy-go-lucky man from enjoying his game to the fullest. The only Indian to score a triple century and one of the few people to have done that twice in his career, Sehwag can be seen plying his trade with Kings Xi Punjab in the Indian Premier league. Not the best IPLs this season where he was dropped, made captain and dropped again, Sehwag draws a salary of $2.8 Millions. His present endorsements include Fila, Hero Honda.
