Those who moan about Sachin making pots of monee, think of this, if you compete against 100 million people and come up as number 1. What kind of rewards should you get?
There are tens of thousands CEO / Business leaders in world and they make crores ... Sachin is among top 5 sportsmen in world, should he not deserve the money? (Those complaining about cricket played in 8 countries only, look at world population base, close to 2 billion people follow cricket)
Why no one complains when Shahrukh makes millions? he is just among 100 actors and has earning lifespan of 40 yrs, where as Sachin will be out of cricket in max 20 yrs total.

SRK can claim N numbers of hits solely because of him.. Sachin will be at loss of words to count matches won because of him.

Seriously, SK has a team of 300 people working on a movie including far talented people like music, cameraman, director etc..
Indian cricket team has 11 players out of which atleast 4-5 are extra baggage,, take 2003 example, Sachin almost single handedly took us to final and when he failed we blame him... take Pak Chennai test, same thing.

Just coz he played some x years back, we cant keep him in team. Current team should be based on player's current form and physical fitness. Sachin's time over. He needs to be inducted in 'Hall of fame' of cricket. Sachin.. just retard. Just give him medal/honors and give him a send off.. his time over!

are you making sense? He was highest scorer in last test series India played in Aus, he won the one day series,, look at his last years record .. you must be watching some other sport.

Ok, Let me ask you a question. Azim premji is worth 1000 crores, does not have tax consultant to find ways to pay minimum taxes? don't you do that when you pay your income tax?
It is right of every citizen to explore "legitimate" ways of paying less tax. He didn't ilegally avoided tax but sought exemption. you know how many people do that every year ..
Do you think A Bindra should pay tax on rewards he is getting? In many countries Sportsmen / artist do not pay tax as they don't have guranteed income ... as they can be dropped anytime.
