Hi guys,
In India, cricket is religion and cricketers are considered as gods and we have a tradition of treating gods with royalty. Hence, cricketers are overpaid. In today’s date, cricketers are the highest paid players especially in India, where hockey is considered to be the national sports. Players are being auctioned (during IPL), so there is obviously competition amongst the franchise to grab the best player by putting in some extra bucks. But Some cricketers are paid more than others because they deserve every bit of it and it is purely performance basis. If we compare cricket to other sports like tennis, golf, football etc then they earn nothing as compared to them, so cricketers are not overpaid.
The cricketers generate tons of revenue for their respective boards which makes it apt for them to have that extra bit of hike in their income. Cricketers play for their respective countries and compete against each other fiercely. Thus, they are paid in accordance to that. Therefore, they are not “overpaid” but just “paid".
