There are plenty of influential figures in the game of cricket. When it comes to big sporting personalities who are super powerful, it reminds us of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and so on. This trio are the most marketable personalities in India.

The aforementioned names earned truckloads of money through match fees, brand endorsements, advertisements, business ventures and so on. On the other hand, Virat Kohli charges a whopping $1 million per Instagram post.

Based on the massive figures of income that they earn these days, the fans have a perception that Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni hold the title of the wealthiest cricketer in the world but it’s not true in the first place.
