Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja claimed to have the payslip of the Indian cricket team who won the 1983 World Cup. India had defeated the then world champions West Indies to lift the trophy.

The Indian cricketers used to get a mere sum of Rs. 1500 as match fees, coupled with a daily allowance of Rs. 200 per day. Ramiz posted a screenshot of the payslip on his official Twitter account and wrote he would also share the Pakistan cricket team's payslip for the Indian tour in 1986-87.
