INDIAN cricketers never had it so good. They now earn hundreds of thousands of rupees for representing the country. And some of the star players rake in many times more than the official match fees by endorsing all kinds of products and services from motorcycles, cars, cola drinks and shaving creams to financial products and insurance policies. 

Ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar is easily the richest Indian sportsman ever with his annual income exceeding Rs25 crores (RM20.8mil).
