India skipper Virat Kohli’s commercial brand appeal continues to skyrocket with each passing day. The Indian superstar cricketer enjoys demigod status in the country with a billion-plus population which is mad about the game.
Kohli has now been paired up with football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in a latest commercial for American Tourister India.
“Have you seen what @cristiano and I have been up to? Check out the new #HardtoLetGo #Curio from @AmTouristerIN,” Kohli wrote in a post along with the video.
The 29-year-old is known to endorse more than 20 brands and is counted amongst the biggest commercial brands in the world of sports.
In a Forbes list of the 10 most valuable athletes released in 2017, the batting maestro was featured in the seventh spot. Incidentally, Ronaldo was featured three places above the India batsman in fourth.
The Real Madrid and Portugal star’s commercial brand value per year was pegged at $21.5 million, compared to Kohli’s $14.5 million.
By the look of things recently, the commercial value of the two elite athletes is only increasing with Ronaldo continuing to defy goal-scoring records in the UEFA Champions League, while Kohli keeps going from strength to strength with his own record-breaking feats in the world of cricket.
