World Cup Winner with 15K salary

The whole country went into a frenzy on that magical night of April 2nd 2011, as MS Dhoni lifted the biggest prize in the game to make  history, but hardly anyone knows about yet another Indian team led by a certain Shekar Naik, who achieved the same feat in 2014 in Cape Town, where they downed arch rivals Pakistan. Shekar Naik, leads the Indian Blind Cricket, who are indeed the current world Champions, but earns only up to ₹ 15,000 , for coordinating sports at an NGO.
“Despite representing India for 13 years, I don’t get any MONEY for playing cricket. It’s my NGO, Samarthanam, where I work as a sports co-ordinator, which pays me Rs 15,000 as monthly salary,” Naik had told the Hindustan Times.
In addition to that, Shekar himself is no less of a stalwart, he has an incredible  record of  32 centuries in all forms of the game in a mere 63 games he played for the country, including a breath taking 134 runs off just 58 balls, in the 2012 T20 World Cup final against England in Bengaluru.
Shekar’s achievements speaks for themselves but let alone a discreet recognition, the Blind Cricket team’s skipper is finding it tough to even sustain with the so called salary that he receives, the BCCI supposedly hasn’t come forward at all in this regard.
“Despite my contribution to Indian cricket over the years, I am still waiting for a government job. The salary I draw is not enough for sustenance,” said the 29 year old. All this actually points to the fact that the CABI (Cricket Association for the Blind in India) just hasn’t got any sort of a formal identification from the BCCI.
Its high time the world’s richest cricket board comes forward to help one of its own association.
