John Arne Riise has been landing the big awards in the Indian Super League but hasn't been rewarded with huge prizes.

Delhi Dynamos defender Riise was given 25,000 rupees for his latest gong of Fittest Player of the Match, which works out as just a paltry £250 at the current exchange rate.

It is a far cry from the wages he received in the Premier League. In his Liverpool days he earned an estimated £35,000-a-week.

Riise was given his latest award for his performance against FC Pune City, who are managed by former England international David Platt.

The 35-year-old was also given a Hero of the Match award last week, after his team's narrow win over Marco Materazzi's Chennaiyin FC. He was given a low reward of 50,000 rupees, which works out to just £500. He currently earns £800,000-a-year in wages for the Delhi Dynamos.

His side are currently third in the Indian Premier League after their positive start to the campaign. Roberto Carlos is the club's marquee player-manager but bolstered the ranks with Riise this summer, who joins former Chelsea star Florent Malouda at the club.

The former Liverpool and Fulham full-back, who is Norway's most capped international player, was a free agent after his contract with Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia was terminated by mutual consent, before his move to the Indian Premier League.

Riise made 334 appearances for Liverpool, winning an FA Cup, a League Cup and the Champions League in 2005. He returned to the club last term for an all-star charity match with Steven Gerrard.
