NEW DELHI, Jul 23 (BSS): There has been much talk of late about MS Dhoni being more sought after by advertisers than Sachin Tendulkar.
But if payment of income tax is any indicator, the little master is still way ahead of all other Indian cricket starts when it comes to earnings, the Times of India said.
Dhoni is a distant second, though catching up, in terms of tax paid, while Virender Sehwag is third.
Data on income tax paid by cricketers shows that Sachin has maintained a steady level of over Rs 80 million for the last three years, 2006-07 to 2008-09. Behind him, there's been a reshuffle in the batting order.
