Answer
Mark Mascarenhas - this is an update:

NEW DELHI, India -- Mark Mascarenhas, a cricket television baron who secured India's Sachin Tendulkar the highest salary ever paid to a cricket player, died Sunday in a road accident, news reports said.

Mascarenhas' car rammed head-on into another car and overturned when he was returning from the famous Velankanni Church near Nagpur in western Maharashtra state, Press Trust of India reported. He died of head injuries, the news agency quoted family sources as saying.

Tendulkar wasn't involved in the accident. He is in the north Indian city of Kanpur for Monday's fourth one-day international against England.

Mascarenhas headed the Connecticut-based sports management company WorldTel, which displayed Tendulkar's place as cricket's best selling brand after signing a multimillion dollar deal with him last year and making him the best paid cricket player ever.

In Kanpur, Tendulkar said it was a shattering news and a personal loss to him.

"Though he was my agent, our relations were of friends. This is an irreparable loss," he said.
