The Richest Athletes in the World

This blog is about the richest players around the world in various sports.

1.Cristiano Ronaldo
Definitely the most celebrated footballer.He earns $58M through salary and $35M through endorsements.



 2. Lebron James

 This basketball player from U.S.A earns $31.2M through salary and $55M through endorsements.



3.Lionel Messi

 This Argentine footballer is one of the greatest footballers of all times.He earns $53M through salary and $27M through endorsements.



4.Roger Federer

 This Swiss player greatest tennis player of all times earns $6M through salary and $55M from endorsements.



5.Kevin Durant

 This baskeball star from U.S.A earns $26.6M through salary and $34M through endorsements.




6.Andrew Luck

 This American football quarterback earns $47M through salary and $3M from endorsements.



7.Rory McIlory

 This Golf player from United Kingdom has been often compared to Tiger Woods.He earns $16M through salary and $34M through endorsements.



8.Stephen Curry

 This basketball player from U.S.A earns $12.3M through salary and $35M from endorsements.




9.James Harden

 This American basketball player earns $26.6M as salary and $20M through endorsements.



10.Lewis Hamilton

 This F1 racer from United Kingdom earns $38M through salary and $8M through endorsements.




Finally I believe that it is quite unfair to compare athletes from different sports as every sport has different amount of money involved.For example there is no cricketer and badminton player in this top10 list.Though cricket is the 2nd most watched sport in the world.If I had to pick the richest in all respects then it would be Roger Federer as he is the one who has been in this list since years and is also the most marketable player in the world.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

Who will win the U.S Open 2017?

U.S Open 2017 is all set to see its 137th champion.The withdrawl of many contenders have made this edition much more interesting.This blog discusses the major contenders of this championship this year. The biggest talking point in this year's U.S Open is who will play the finals rather than who will win the U.S Open.This is probably the first time that Nadal and Federer are placed in the same half of the draw in the absence of Djokovic and Murray.Defending champion Stanlas Wawrinka has also pulled out of the U.S Open due to injury.This means the top half is packed with many former U.S Open champions like Del Potro along with Federer and Nadal.Hence the one who advances from the top half is expected to win the championship.Bottom half has some good players like Cilic,Sam Querry,Zverev,Tsonga but Tsonga and Zverev have already been knocked out of tournament.The bottom half is expected to have such upsets because none of these players have been consistent in grand slam events...
