Top 4 highest bat endorsement deals of current Indian cricketers

#1 Virat Kohli - ₹13.75 crore per year with MRF

India v Australia - T20I: Game 2

The skipper of the Indian cricket team tops the list with a whopping ₹13.75 crore per annum contract with MRF. Virat Kohli renewed his bat sponsorship deal with MRF for eight years for ₹110 crore in mid-2017.

Kohli first signed with MRF three years ago in a deal worth ₹8 crore per annum, in 2015. Thus the current deal fetches Kohli 70% more than what he would get from the earlier deal.

The batting maestro has been doing great justice to that hefty amount by scoring runs and hundreds for fun. After the deal was renewed, the CEO of Cornerstone Sport and Entertainment, the agency that manages Kohli’s endorsements, said that MRF was keen on securing Kohli for a long term.

Thus far the No. 1 batsman in the ICC rankings for Tests and ODIs has played 77 Tests, 222 ODIs, and 67 T20Is, scoring 6613, 10533 and 2263 runs at an average of 53.76, 59.50 and 50.28 respectively.
