In a recent TV show in India yesterday - the foll stats were shown :
1.Rahul & Sachin were being paid roughly Rs 7000 ($ 160 ) per run they scored this year
as per contract - they scored plenty fine with it
2.However Gautam Gambhir scored only 360 runs this year and was paid @ Rs 12, 700 per run ( $ 280) per run - EVEN IN HIS HEYDAY ViV RICHARDS never earned so much !!
3. Similarly Saurav Ganguly has earned $ 105,000 without even playing for India
I can go on - no wonder Indian Board wants to bring Performance Based Payouts !!
