Indian cricket giant Sachin Tendulkar filed a civil lawsuit against the Australian bat maker, accusing him of using his name and image to promote the product, and then did not pay him $ 2 million in royalties.
In a federal court document filed this month and reviewed by Reuters, Tendulkar said Spartan Sports International, based in Sydney, agreed in 2016 to pay him at least $ 1 million to use his image, logo and promotional services to sell "Sachan by Spartan "Sporting goods and clothing.
The document shows that the retired star batter quickly promoted these products and appeared in a series of promotions in the financial centers of London and India.
However, in September 2018, Studan did not pay a sum, Tendulkar said, and formally submitted a request for payment. When no one arrived, the agreement ended and he asked the company to stop using his name and his portrait.

However, according to the document, Sparta continued to do so.
Sparta's legal representative was not listed on the Federal Court website, but did not respond to the Reuters email request.
Les Galbraith, who was included as chief operating officer for court documents, did not respond to private messages sent to his LinkedIn page.
Gilbert + Tobin, a law firm representing Tendulkar, declined to comment.
The Tendulkar civil lawsuit alleges that Australian companies cheat or cheat, "falsify", or recommend official recognition in the absence of a contract and breach of contract. He did not say what kind of damage to look for.
In 2013, Tendulkar became the best tester in the world and the international event scorer for more than 24 years in 2013, with more than 34,000 races and 100 centuries.
In 2012, he was awarded an honorary membership to the Australian Medal, and the Australian Medal is one of the highest folkloric awards in the country.
The court website indicated that the lawsuit was filed on June 5 and the first court date was June 26 in Sydney.
