The IPL just signed Sachin to a contract consisting of eight, end‐of‐year payments worth $9 million
each,
with the first payment precisely one year from today. On the other hand, Dhoni recent deal calls for six
annual payments of $7 million, starting one year from now and ending six years from now, along with payments of
$14 million in 7 years and $17 million in 8 years. Sachin interviewed on a TV, complaining that his contract “is worth a
