5 Indian Cricketers whose brand earnings exceed their BCCI contract wages
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli did not have the debut of Shikhar Dhawan or the early talent of Rohit Sharma. He does not have the flair of Hardik Pandya or the Midas touch of MS Dhoni. However, he has a lot of passion and will. One that has taken him to the top of the cricketing world, where he is heralded by many as the best Modern era batsman.
Despite achieving so much in his career, Kohli persistently works hard and is willing to lead by example both on and off the pitch. He used to be very rash and reactive early on in his career. Now though, Kohli has matured into a fine gentleman and prefers to let his bat do the talking for him instead.
Seen as a national icon, Kohli is currently the only cricketer in Forbes list of highest paid athletes. He is the brand ambassador of big-name brands such as Puma, MRF Tyres and Audi through which he pockets round 146 crores, almost 21 times more than his contracted salary of 7 crores.
These were the 5 cricketers whose brand earnings exceed their BCCI contracted wages.
