#3 Rohit Sharma - ₹3 crore per year with CEAT
The swashbuckling Indian opener Rohit Sharma has been endorsing MRF’s rival brand CEAT since November 2015 for a deal of ₹3 crore per annum. In October 2018 CEAT renewed its association with Rohit for another three years.
Since his promotion as an opener in 2013, the talented Mumbaikar has gone from strength to strength to become one of the leading batsmen in limited overs cricket at the moment. In fact, many believe he is the best opener in world cricket now.
The 31-year-old has thus far played 27 Tests, 201 ODIs and 94 T20Is scoring 1585, 7808 and 2331 runs at an average of 39.62, 47.61 and 32.38 respectively. He is the only batsman in world cricket to boast of 3 ODI double hundreds, and his score of 264 against Sri Lanka is the highest individual score ever in international limited overs.
Rohit also has 29 international tons to his name.
