Let us not forget one thing. We know that the indian players during the 80's and 90's were not paid even a decent compensation and they have to stay in sub standard hotels. All these have changed only because of sachin. People crowded stadiums only to see, I repeat, only to see sachin batting regardless of whether india won or lost. That's when the money start pouring and made BCCI into what it is today. Thats why I say Sachin is the man who changed Indian cricket.
