When Kapil and Gavaskar were playing, Cricket Board was not making such amount of money and profit which they are making now. During their time only few matches were played each year whereas now the number of matches have increased manifold.
Added to this Board makes lot of money out of Sponsorship, telecast right, advertisement. Hence the present players are paid handsomely as compared to the payment made to earlier players such as Kapil Dev, Gavaskar etc.

thats absolutely right my friends thats y we received multi skilled Cricketers like Dilip Vensarkar, Roger Binny & kapil Dev Etc. at that time all the related persons gives importance to game rather than money. the Best joke is nobady know who is manager & coach of the teams the present downfall of indian Cricket is not for lack of skill it is because of Mismanagement
