Cricket is a profession. And it earns revenue. The professionals therefore deserve a cut of the revenue. Like any other fair business. Do you question it when Bond Traders get bonuses of 1 crore? Do you question it when film stars earn a crore? Then why would you not like Yuvraj earning a bonus of a crore which might be a small part of the revenue that he is responsible for generating? Dont quite get your logic.
Your observations of India are true of any capitalistic society. If you want equality for all then you should promote socialism and communism... but that has its own problems right?

BCCI can shower gifts and money and private sponsors can give millions of $s to cricketers, no problem.
BCCI is a private franchise registered overseas
What irks me is this- why are governments spending tax-money on cricketers? Why are the CMs giving free land and houses to cricketers? Why is the cricket team blocking traffic of a labourer who is running late for an interview?
Why govt funds? Why public wastage?
Does a bond trader get bonuses from the government (rupees earned as taxes)?

Hmm..."created happiness 'for' crores of Indians"
RajneeshChandraMohan, maybe if the govt. had built a school in your village with the same money, you wouldn't have been the village-idiot you seem to have turned out to be.

how much money we are ready to pay to buy a Movie ticket to watch a movie to have some happiness and in turn the actors earn cores on this....... So why not cricketers earn more money by giving us happiness......Atlease I will say the happiness what I have got after watching the match was worth of few super hit moviews ........so let them earn and as long as they are wining.....and give happiness to the nation...
