I'm sure the players do, lol.
That’s their Personal, he will earn anyway more. If we wants to rate the players based on how much money they earned in their career. Sachin Tendulkar >>>>> Brian Lara.

The point was he should play Test for his legacy and IPL to fill his pockets, nothing else but WC matters

I thought you were talking about his wickets in India.

Being great in all the formats should make his legacy even greater imo. He might be the first bowler to be a top 10 bowler in every format.

T20s being real cricket is a conspiracy theory (and he is arguably the T20 GoAT bowler anyways, at worst top 4).

That's definitely true, but pretty sure majority of your people would disagree.
He took 158 wickets outside India so 42 more to make it 200

I don't claim them

Spoken like a true Patriot.
But how can you compare him to a Bowler like Ray Lindwall who never played other formats of the game ? So Test Cricket Stats have more Importance when comparing with Past ATG

I do not care how much honor and prestige they give me at work since my number one priority is money
You can make a Documentary ICC Legends of Cricket - and place Saurav Ganguly at No 1 and Don Bradman at No 50 based on how much they earned.

I was talking about general people, who don't even know anyone else other than guys like Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Kohli etc.
@capt_Luffy do you know any such person?

This is not about "rating" players based on their salary, it's just that they do care for money; after all it's one of the reasons why they play cricket.
Yes I understand but they are anyway making money, but IPL Records hold Zero Value in terms of Cricket
Legacy. Federer in Tennis 
is Respected for Winning a Grand Slam. Test Cricket is like a Grand Slam in Tennis and IPL is like an Exhibition Match.
