6) Shane Watson – Total income 5.9$ Millions
The Australian all rounder who rose to prominence again in national clothing in 2008 after a productive IPL has never looked back since. Having donned many roles from being a test opener to a no.3 to his present position at No.6, Watson has more than enough capacity of destructing an opposition’s plan.
And one shall forget his lethal bowling at his own peril. In all, Watson is a great asset to any team he represents. Having played for Rajasthan Royals, Sydney Sixers, Hampshire has allowed him to develop an all round game, helping him earn close to $2.9 Million as salary. His major endorsements include Gunn & Moore, Asics, and TAG Heuer.
