As per the dsitribution formula, head coach Dravid and all the 15 memebers of the sqaud were to get Rs 5 crore each while the other support staff including batting coach Vikram Rathour, fielding coach T. Dilip, and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey were to receive Rs 2.5 crore each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Rahul wanted the same bonus money (Rs 2.5 crore) as the rest of his support staff (bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T Dilip and batting coach Vikram Rathore). We respect his sentiments,\" a BCCI source told the newspaper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
