Another Feat for Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has topped the list of world's 10 top earning cricketers compiled by Forbes. The list also includes four other players from the sub-continent — Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly. Dhoni is at the top of the chart with an earning of $10 million, followed by Tendulkar at the second spot with earnings worth $8 million in the list of 'The World's Top-Earning Cricketers'.

The list is as follows:

1. Mahendra Singh Dhoni with $10 million
2. Sachin Tendulkar with $8 million
3. Yuvraj Singh with $5.5 million
4. Rahul Dravid with $5 million
5. Andrew Flintoff with $4 million
6. Saurav Ganguly with $3.5 million
7. Ricky Ponting with $3.5 million
8. Kevin Pieterson with $3 million
9. Brett Lee with $3 million
10. Michael Clark with $2.5 million

The figures here tell us that there is no recession when it comes to cricketers. The IPL earnings also played an important role, and the heavy money involved in IPL has had a direct impact on the ranking. Out of the top 10 in the list of 'The World's Top-Earning Cricketers', 8 played the IPL.

It is good to note such good figures in times of recession where we really appreciate such news which shows the growing economic conditions. But this time things are a bit different, the wealth is getting concentrated to a few individuals and thus the flow of money is being restricted. Still I feel satisfied and content that the Indians are sitting pretty on top of the snobbish Aussies.
