Title says it all. We have seen the two new franchises, each being sold in excess of all the previoius ones combined. Player salaries are set to rise, and the IPL seems to be a good financial investment (in the eyes of the investors anyway).
There, however, is one man who's name need not be mentioned, and he wasn't under auction last time. And it's unlikely he's going to be auctioned next time around too. But just hypothetically, how much would Sachin go for ?! And how much fun would this hypothetical auction be !
My opinion, with no financial expertise, would be a figure between $5 million and $10 million. What's yours ?
EDIT : Just to clarify, this is just a hypothetical question. It's highly likely that he's going to be sold and there's a cap for how much a team can spend etc. But ignoring all that, this is just to ask how much Sachin's brand and cricketing skill is worth.
