5 Most Valuable Cricketers in the World Right Now

Chris Gayle (West Indies)

‘The Universe Boss’ may not be at the pinnacle best of his career, but for someone who has already crossed 40, being in this list is nothing short of a miracle.

Eyeing a place in the upcoming 2020 T20 World Cup, the Jamaican endorses Spartan Sports, Agrani Homes to name a few. Apart from the IPL where Chris Gayle plays for Kings XI Punjab, other franchise leagues like BPL and CPL still values his trade and still remains a lethal place for whichever league he plays for.

MS Dhoni (India)

The present MS Dhoni is close to retirement. The wicket-keeper batsman who is yet to play competitive cricket ever since India’s unfortunate exit from the 2019 World Cup semifinals continues to be an advertiser favorite.

He endorses many brands including Dream11, Reebok, Cars 24 etc. Dhoni earns $0.7M from his Indian cricket commitments and $2.2M from his IPL contract. In 2014, he was only Indian sportsman in Forbes’ list of the most valuable athlete with $20M. Come CSK, he is still is the boss of the franchise and his worth is priceless for CSK.

Virat Kohli (India)

The successor of MS Dhoni and the current Indian skipper has been at the pinnacle of his career both on and off the field. His worth on the field for both India and RCB is exemplary. Whichever team he plays for he always remains the face.

Virat Kohli was the only cricketer in Forbes list of World’s highest-paid athletes for 2019 taking the 100th position. The highest played cricketer in the IPL with a deal of Rs 17 Crore, Kohli endorses as many as 24 brands and his brand value remains second.
