Cricket player salary.

Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is currently the richest cricketer in the world. His current valuation is Rs. 1,296 crores or $170 million. The early attempts at commercializing sports personalities were not received well, but the late 80s and early 90s saw a major change. With India beginning to globalize bigger than ever before, plenty of commercial elements started getting attached to the game and now, they are an integral part of it.
