Go  for  tennis

Answer 2

sports is not about money... its about what you liked most and where you have fun most..

Answer 3

You should never play a sport purely for the money because you will come to hate it, plus there are many factors that come into play.  For example, only the top cricket players make huge money and are you good enough to be one of those?  It's like baseball here in the states - how many players make money like Alex Rodrigez ?  Then there are endorsements. Cricket is huge in India and Britain but it doesn't have the worldwide popularity of tennis, it is never mentioned here in the U.S. - top cricket players may make big endorsement deals in India, but they never get the worldwide exposure that tennis players do.  And that's where the big money is anyway - prize money is a drop in the bucket for a Federer or Sharapova.  If your dream is tennis, then I'd do that.   If you make $15 million playing cricket or $10 million playing tennis, is it really going to make a difference?  Hey, $10 million would suit me just fine and  take care of all my needs for the rest of my life.
