5 Indian Cricketers whose brand earnings exceed their BCCI contract wages
Rohit Sharma

Shikhar Dhawan’s opening partner in One Day Internationals follows him in this list. The hitman made his debut 12 years back in the summer of 2007. He entered the cricketing arena with a lot of promise and was even compared to Sachin Tendulkar. However, Sharma’s habit of throwing away his wicket just when he looked good meant that people started asking for his head.
However, his talent was undeniable and the team management understood it. Which us why they persisted with him despite his horrible run of form. In 2013, MS Dhoni, promoted him to open the innings with Shikhar Dhawan and together they have since formed a deadly combo at the top, capable of winning matches all on their own.
Rohit is different then most batsmen in the sense that his strokeplay can match that of any technical genius while maintaining a strike rate in comparison with the most destructive batsmen of any era. His three double-hundred’s in ODI’s are testament to that fact.
Rohit Sharma earns a whopping 7 crores by BCCI through his A+ contract. However, his earnings through endorsements come to 7.2 crores. He has signed agreements with global brands like Adidas, Hublot, and Aristocrat Bags among many.
