Yes venkatesh, We need not to pay money to these cricketers. They get lots of money from their board, advt. contract. Why do we pay extra. Remember those Football team, Hockey team, those are also champions. None of the Govt , including Central Govt announced prize money.. and none of you praised their effort. Now you guys are trying to drag this issues in communal way, shame on you guys. Try to give equal importance to all sports. Do not make politics on it.
