5 Indian Cricketers whose brand earnings exceed their BCCI contract wages
MS Dhoni
14 crores is a lot of money but we are now going to enter the realm of serious big bucks. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a cricketer from Ranchi, took the cricketing world by storm when he led an inexperienced Indian side to victory at the first ever World T20. He was soon handed the reins of the Indian side and became very popular for his brave yet calm captaincy and his Midas touch. More glory was to follow as he won the 2011 cricket World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy to win every ICC championship available to him.
Dhoni became a brand in himself as companies around the world lined up for his signatures. He became the first cricketer to be ranked under 25 in the Forbes list of highest paid athletes in 2014. He endorses Reebok, Pepsico, and Spartan Sports among other names and earns around 120 crores from his brand endorsements! His annual contract wage of 5 crores severely pale in comparison.
