Dhoni earns most: Forbes
 
CRICKET'S NABOBS India's captain is richest cricketer, Sachin comes next
 
NEW DELHI:
 
       

You've seen him running in his Reeboks and quenching his thirst with a Pepsi. And by doing so -- and playing some cricket matches too -- Mahendra Singh Dhoni has raked in a cool $10 million (Rs 48 crore) in the past year?
Dhoni tops the Forbes' list of 10 top-earning cricketers in the world, with Sachin Tendulkar coming second with $8 million (Rs 38.4 crore). The list figures three other Indians -- Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly (see box).

The list was prepared taking into account a cricketer's income from his IPL franchisee, from the national team and from commercial endorsements over the last 12 months.
